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.

              backups, non-incremental ones
prevent others from viewing  information that may be sensitive
encrypted files and directories will then be copied over to external drives and third-party servers
