Again I think desktop wallets have more open source wallets than mobile, which desktop wallet is the best open-source wallet that you know of?

It actually depends on usage and scenario. Even if you are choosing mobile wallets, you shouldn't be storing a large number of funds over there, especially if the phone is your main phone and you are using it for daily usage.

Since you are trying to seek out only based on open sourceness, choosing a wallet that is inherently developed by the altcoin developers itself should be better compared to another multi-currency wallet. But if you are trying to use it for tokens, then I don't think Metamask is a bad option, despite their many issues.

I usually use a mobile wallet, it's simpler to use and can be accessed anywhere as long as there is an internet network, I usually use a trustwallet, but for certain circumstances I also use a desktop wallet.

Between mobile and a desktop wallet which one do you prefer the most and why?

Desktop and Mobile Wallets both have different advantages. If considering of security, undoubtedly desktop wallet is the best. I would like to recommend Trezor hardware wallet and also you can use SafePal. But i feel very comfortable to use mobile wallet and i'm familiar with mobile wallet because i can access my wallet in anywhere if i will carry my Android mobile. I'm always using Trust Wallet for mobile.

I love both, I even back up assets in both places. Because it is quite important when we adjust the needs. However, the wallet on the phone might be a bit of a priority when we go out and make transactions. I think it will be adapted to the needs and conditions of each of us. For example, this is the display that I use, although not all of them have assets from time to time I will definitely need them.

It's true that I need both mobile and desktop, this is what I need when I go out at work, so I always use a mobile wallet when I'm out at home, so a desktop wallet is what I like with a wide and easy reach when doing transactions or whatever we need.

Since I also can't compare the two, they are both needed on mobile and on PC, so it just needs to be adjusted which one according to the OP is more efficient for this.
I think all wallets are now more practical to use in various things.

I prefer mobile wallet instead of desktop wallet. It's caused by i can maintain it anytime without need to access my desktop wallet and i can bring it anywhere and i just need to open my phone and i can interact with my wallet and see what's the condition with my portfolios. The fact that if desktop wallet was good but it's not so easy to be used unlike the mobile wallet that can be used by anyone. You must also aware about that if these days the users from the mobile wallets are also seeing the rapid increase. They can trade anywhere easily as they can also access the dex with their phone.
You must also think about your mobility when you are using the desktop wallet. The mobile wallet is much more easier to be brought with you anywhere

I prefer both as sometimes I use them outside. But if there's a need to pick then I prefer a desktop wallet too.
Mobile wallets usage for me is mostly for sending or receiving (funds don't stay long) while a desktop is mostly just receiving which means it's just merely storage. So you could say I mostly use the android application rather than the desktop which I open rarely just to check the balance making sure the transaction was completed.
I think it's more secured in the desktop wallet too.

If the question is in terms of preferability, then I would say that I prefer to have a mobile wallet due to its convenience. In addition, my mobile wallet is connected to our local exchange where the convenience of converting my said BTCs to our local currency can be accessed anytime in order to purchase products/services; or even pay bills; or directly deposit the funds in my bank.

Though this may be the case, having a desktop wallet is far secured than having a mobile wallet. Though the most secured is still having your respective hardware wallet, I still prefer convenience since most of my BTCs can be transferred easily with one push of a button in our local exchange mobile application.

I seldom use a mobile wallet but I do have one although it's easy to use and you can carry it anywhere but being online most of the time since I'm a work from a home guy my go-to wallet is a desktop, it's more secure for me both have advantage and disadvantage, the most important is where you are comfortable using it when you are trading but a ledger wallet is still the best choice you are fully protected from this kind of wallet.

Basically it comes back again depending on what we need and indeed both a mobile wallet or a desktop wallet have their respective advantages and disadvantages, it's clear,
but indeed for me personally prefer the desktop wallet and it's more secure,
even so we also remain careful

I prefer desktop over mobile wallet caused by i can encrypt it easily rather than use mobile wallet. The problem is when you are using mobile wallet and you are using your personal phone that used for the daily activities and you will not know whether you have been clicking something that looks suspicious or not. This means your wallet will be targetted by scammer to be hacked. so many hacked cases happened in the mobile wallet instead of desktop wallet.

True and desktop wallet have more security compared with the mobile wallet. In my opinion that you can take a look at electrum or something like exodus.

I will always go with a desktop wallet as for me it's safer than a mobile wallet.

However, there are wallet providers that would let you link your desktop wallet to your mobile wallet, I think this is safe because if you lose your phone, you can still access those in your desktop wallet, but you have to be aware that taking care of your desktop wallet is more important especially if you have files that are required to access your wallet if you decide to open your wallet in other devices.

Depends for what you need it. If you need only to have all the time access to your wallet then mobile wallet is best option for you. For other purposes use desktop.

Desktop without a doubt. Most mobile is not as advanced as the desktop wallets. They mostly lack of important featues which the desktop wallets has. Depending on the platform/device you use, either can be more secure than the other however. For example, I would prefer IOS (mobile) to Windows (PC) but I would also prefer Linux (PC) over both IOS & Android (Mobile). To me it goes like this: Linux > IOS > Android = Windows

Well, in my case, I generally prefer mobile wallets because they are easy to access and convenient to use.
You carry your mobile everywhere you go but you don't carry your desktop everywhere you go.
But at the same time we must make sure that the wallet we download on our mobile is a genuine one.
Opensource wallets like Mycelium are generally better than other wallets.

Do you need a multicurrency wallet or not?

The best solution is a hardware wallet connected to a mobile or desktop wallet.

It is very convenient because in its interface you can trade on Binance without KYC.

Ledger and Trezor, which is compatible with many desktop and mobile wallets.
