Newbie Question - Wallets
Okay if custody of your own coins is priority for you, and you don't want to run a node straight away, I guess my recommendation is Zap Desktop. You can also get it from its github page. Basically it's running an lnd node in the background, but it presents a nice GUI as a front end.
- I've been out a couple of years, anyone was here?

ZAP Windows Desktop Wallet, error msg, invalid date for on-chain transactions and can not open LN channels.
Seems like a bug with Zap Desktop.

PSA: Zap Desktop does not currently support LND v0.13

My reply to people who tell me to “just use lightning”
There are various wallets for the desktop, but I never used one. I think Electrum has Lightning intergration, there is also Zap (https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop) I use a https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz with Zap mobile wallet connecting to the node for payments (there is an app and desktop version).

money stuck in Zap?
I would recommend opening an issue in their GitHub repository https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop/issues.
