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.

edit: I am not specifically tied to pgp, I just want an encryption method that uses a public key to decrypt and a private one to encrypt

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!
