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.
Advice on using gpg with Linux

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