  • Why use GPG? Particularly for encryption? It doesn't sound like you need the compatibility with any particular user, so GPG may not be the best choice. age (age-encryption.org) is harder to misuse. Minisign is good for signatures, but a lot of things actually use GPG signatures these days like Git commit signing. Commented Nov 19, 2021 at 14:01
  • I use GPG because it's the most commonly used tool. I will use it to: sign git commits, encrypt/decrypt e-mails, encrypt files, check signatures for downloaded software, and to store passwords with pass (which uses GPG). Thanks for the hint anways. Commented Nov 19, 2021 at 15:32
