Hi,

I would like to use Gnupg to encrypt, sign… documents.

I’ve downloaded the Manual, it’s quite extensive. So the learning curve is proportional :)

I’ve tried the GPA GUI, but with it, it seem impossible to generate an ECC key…

So what would be your recommendation to be able to generate ECC keys, be able to encrypt, sign etc… with or without GUI.

Thanks.

TL;DR here.

GnuPGP is bad. It’s so bad, it’s terrible. Don’t use it, it’s the worst. You know this GNU? It’s bad, terrible.

Use this one instead, it’s coded in Rust…

Lol OK… Thanks I guess…

You do you man. I’m just trying to share some information that helped me.

Don’t take it personally.

It’s how the guy who wrote the blog sounds like, it’s not toward you.

I tend to have a grain of scepticism when someone is declaring high and loud that something widely used us /just the worst/.

Also, it just happens his alternative is just: “use this instead, its made in Rust”

These remarks could discourage others from reading a useful and well-written article.

I still use GnuPG on occasion, but I’ve benefited from incorporatingsops and age into repositories. They’re pretty slick.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
