Yeah but also no https://airgapcomputer.com/
Opinions vary ofc, but a computer is very complex and is trying pretty hard to be online and clever, not a do-only-one-thing dumb hardware wallet.
Just because you deleted and uninstalled Samourai doesn’t mean your private key has actually been irrecoverably scrubbed from the device.
This airgap computer setup is fine for small stacks, but a big stack you really should be much more paranoid. And at that stage, a $200 hardware wallet is less than a 1% insurance fee to pay, so makes sense.
