PGP? That’s for email and isn’t great

That’s for encrypting text, regardless of the medium. Explain “not very good”?

Well it’s not very good, it’s just pretty good.

It uses the same public key unless you manually change it. You don’t get the rolling keys provided by other systems

I don’t think I understand what you’re implying. Are you arguing that PGP implements less secure operations because it doesn’t have perfect forward secrecy? As far as I know there’s not much out there in terms of encryption schemes for data at rest which includes PFS. Even AGE didn’t have it last time I checked. If you know about something that does provide PFS for data at rest, let me know
