Simple and de-facto way to encrypt files and directories in Linux (sopuli.xyz)

Namely, de-facto, or one of, in Linux. Mature. No GUI. Open-source and free.

What is it? GPG or anything else?

For a separate file(s), or directory(ies), and not for the entire disk or partition.

If you use ext4 or other filesystem that supports fscrypt, you can use fscrypt to encrypt specific directories.

There's also gocryptfs for a fuse-based userspace implementation.

ZFS has built-in encryption: https://klarasystems.com/articles/openzfs-native-encryption/
