Description
I did AI search[^1] and all the tutorials I found assume prior PGP knowledge (including why you can trust asymmetric encryption and why it's better than symmetric encryption).
An absolute-beginner-friendly article will greatly help the adoption of age.

No file or test is named.

Done means adding or documenting an age tutorial that explains these concepts without prior PGP knowledge.
