Hi

I use [Picocrypt-NG](https://github.com/Picocrypt-NG/Picocrypt-NG) but I discovered that it is [vibecoded](https://github.com/Picocrypt-NG/Picocrypt-NG#ai-usage), which is huge no-go for me, especially in so sensitive task as encryption.

Can you please advice me good GUI (because I am a beginner) utils for Linux to encrypt files? And better without *sudo,* because I don’t feel comfortable allowing any app to have root rights on my distribution permanently.
