After a rational evaluation, which Bitcoin Desktop wallets software you'd use?

Let's imagine you need to set up a multisig for your business. After many meetings, shared learning materials, disputes, compromises, and agreements you reach the unanimous point where the way to go is with hardware and software to run everything in a sovereign manner. Including the decision of avoiding third parties and consulting firms for key management or backup.
Before selecting the hardware wallet, we want to make sure to pick the right desktop, open sorce, multiplatform (MacOS and Linux as bare minimum) solution.
Which one you'd advise, base on your experience? Why?

Sparrow. Its complex, but it doesn´t make any choices for you. You learn a lot while using it.

The wallet app in the end is just a user interface, it doesn't matter too much when is about to sign a tx already built. As a signer only, you can use whatever app you want, even a mobile app like Bluewallet, Zeus, Green etc that support HW.
Important is for the main user that construct the tx and in that case, I thin Sparrow is the most intuitive and complex.

Mobile is out of conversation. I'd have love to offer BlueWallet but does not run on Linux, anyone know why?
So the option is to operate only on desktop computers, probably laptops for security and privacy reasons.

yeah, for such complex use case, is better desktop only, mobiles are easily compromised.

Agree! Do you know why blueWallet is only available on macOS?

Indeed, it is more complex than others, but it offers more flexibility. Is my personal second option at the moment.

Sparrow, because of taproot.

Electrum, and Sparrow are the best for me, especially if you want to go beyond the basics.
From the friendlier- easier ones I am impressed by Blue Wallet.

Sparrow, because it's what most people seem to be using, then use a different hardware wallet vendor for each key.

Don't really like their ToS and Privacy notice... It has been in the list and removed for this reason.
