You can choose other wallets instead if you don't feel safe on using electrum there are some other options but I'm not sure if which wallet is the safest to use nowadays. You can check some other Linux wallet option from here https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/desktop/linux/

One of the wallet that I know safe is a green address this is my own alternative wallet but I can not guarantee that this wallet is 100% safe. I haven't experienced any issue yet while you using it. It is good for a temporary wallet while the electrum still in phishing attacks.

Wasabi is probably the next best, though it's certainly missing a ton of features compared to Electrum. Nothing lightweight comes close to Electrum's features.

Wasabi recently passed bitcoin.org's strict criteria for being listed.

Why? Because of the recent phishing attack?

The Electrum wallet is probably the only SPV wallet I trust. Even with the recent vulnerability, which was “only” showing messages and never really risked anyones funds directly.

Are you serious? 200 + btc stolen and you downplay it. Come on.
Yes. I’m not “downplaying” anything. I’m saying that even with the vulnerability, Electrum is pretty safe. If those users didn’t download the fake wallet (or verified the signatures), they wouldn’t have lost anything.

AGAIN, I’m not saying it’s the users’ fault. I’m just saying thet while I consider this a major exploit from the point of making people easily trust the messages, it’s not a direct issue with the code. At the end of the day, Electrum is way far ahead than most other wallets.

Can anyone recommend a light wallet for btc? Must have a linux version. Multibit was fine but its been abandoned. I have 0 trust in Electrum.

I do have Jaxx and Exodus for scraps but I don't trust these do it all wallets with btc.
