GpgFrontend makes GnuPG accessible to everyone. But using GnuPG effectively requires some reading, and GpgFrontend scores well on this front as well.
The biggest roadblock to encrypting all your communication is the CLI interface of the tools. GpgFrontend solves that problem by hiding the complexities behind a graphical front-end. The app is officially distributed on Flathub – install it with flatpak install flathub com.bktus.gpgfrontend . On first launch, it fires up a brief First Start wizard that tells you how to use the app and points you to the relevant sections of its documentation.
First up, head to Key > Manage Keys to bring up the KeyPair Management window. Then click the New KeyPair button and fill in your details. It’s best to just go with the default options for now. We’ll use this key to encrypt, sign and verify documents, so it’s a good idea to leave all the boxes ticked.
