Advice on using gpg with Linux

I am migrating fully to Linux (about time). Having some trouble using GPA, so I decided to say fuck it and just stick w gpg via terminal. Any recommendations on basic guides? I'm having trouble even importing keys and encrypting my address.

I would fix the issue. Keyring issues in Linux suck. What is wrong?

I'd recommend downloading this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/2yoo9k/the_illustrated_100_idiotproof_stepbystep/?st=j6mq0lt4&sh=a9c0ceb8

Easier in long run to figure out GPA.

If you want a basic guide to any command on a UNIXs use the man command

man gpg

Navigate with up/down/pg up/pg down and quit with q. Search with /

To import from file

cat FILE_NAME | gpg --import

To import from clipboard

gpg --import

Right click paste public key ( ctrl + v wont work for paste, the command will probably be shift + insert). Send an EOF character by pressing ctrl+d.

To look at your PUBLIC KEYS on the keyring.

gpg --list-public-keys

To search your keyring for a key

gpg --list-public-keys | grep -C 1 SEARCHTERM

Or browse them with

gpg --list-public-keys | less 

You use less like you use the man page.

To encrypt interactively

gpg -a -e -r EMAIL_OR_KEYID

Follow prompt, type your message, finish with ctrl+d.

Insufficient details. What trouble are you having importing keys? What trouble are you having encrypting? See where I'm going?

If you're doing it via command line, you need to learn to 'escape' special characters...on in the case of a public key, which has a ton of special chars, escape the whole sequence.
