GPG is probably the most commonly used one. If you want something with a slightly less awkward command line interface, you could try sequoia-pgp.

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.

Is "PGP" part of the requirement, or are you looking for an asymmetric encryption scheme for files? If you are not tied to PGP, you could look at age, which is a bit more modern and less complex. Lower complexity is always good.
I've now been using age for a bit on opensuse and I recommend it, seems really secure and is a lot simpler.
Nice to hear. Thanks for the feedback 🙂
Kgpg is easy to use
vim-gnupg. If gpg-agent is setup and you connect with ssh with X11 forwarding enableed, gpg will popup it's passphrase entry box (even on WSL Windows 11 or Chrome OS). Easy and convenient if you have a pgp key.
You can also configure pinentry-curses of pinentry-tty and use the same setup without X11 forwarding. This also works with neovim!
