The first chapters of Mastering Bitcoin is approachable even for beginners
lnd, developed by Lightning Labs.
c-lightning, developed by [Blockstream]
eclair, developed by ACINQ.
Zeus, which works with or without LndHub.
RaspiBlitz.
Zap, developed by the guy behind Strike (Note that the iOS version is discontinued and has a security flaw).
For Hardwallets you can start with the most user-friendly ones like Trezor or Ledger.
Phoenix, which is very similar to Breez. Developed by ACINQ, and uses eclair as a node.
Muun, which is probably the most seamless on-chain + lightning wallet out there.
Umbrel.
Breez, which handles channel management for you. Has a few interesting built-in features. Runs an lnd node on your phone.As pointed out by u/whitslack: Breez makes lncli commands directly available to the user, allowing power users to do almost everything that an lnd node lets you do.
Default BlueWallet. When using their default LndHub instance.
Came here to say this. Also check out bitcoin.org and try reading The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous. Andreas Antonopolous also has some books out there, & he is featured in a lot of earlier videos explaining the basics of Bitcoin.
