I personally don't trust hardware wallets.
Especially if it's closed source. If you got a large enough amount of cryptocurrency to justify a hardware wallet, then I'd:
a) Split it up into a hot wallet for daily stuff, and a large cold wallet with the rest
b) Cold wallet could be KeePass inside VeraCrypt Drives, with a fake password for a hidden drive
c) With an epic amount of cryptocurrency, (this is not the vast majority of the readers), using a virtual machine, with the crypto wallets on the host, and the purchases inside the VM.
d) With a medium amount of cryptocurrency, our fingerprint app also gives you the added benefit of GUI isolation for Linux Distros like Mint, which don't have it for x11 displays. In other words, the web browser isn't seeing your keepass and wallets.
