The struggle with SSH key management under Linux

GnuPG

So how do we use it, then? First of all, you need GnuPG, which installs the necessary tools. Sadly there is still no all-in-one version, but GpuPG comes with everything we need.

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

I then actually sat down and implemented a prototype of my SSH/GPG agent manager in Rust, which forced me to really understand the tooling around SSH keys. But there was a problem, I could not solve: Every time I restarted my environment (in my case WSL), I had to reenter all my passphrases to all the keys even if I wouldn't need them.
