Linux, created by Linus Torvalds, indoctrinated by Richard Stallman. It is debatably man's greatest creation in the 21st century. Especially for security and keeping what belongs to one, under ones control.
Bringing encryption into a work flow involving Linux, is the most streamlined, compared to Windows and OS X. A large quantity of users do so to begin with. Starting using GPG begins with a couple of commands. Soon after, it is a matter of applying another set of commands to files before releasing them to the unrelenting sea that is 'the internet of things'. Many users will encrypt their entire hard drive before even touching the Operating System. This is a good practice that could save one from hacking and stealing, among other things.
Encryption in E-mail, is just as simple in Linux as it is in it's counterparts, Windows and OS X. Simply taking the task of finding Mail clients to apply the encryption to is all that is needed. A strongly recommended (by me) app for Linux at this moment (that supports encryption out of the box) would be Evolution. A (subjectively) much more beautiful app, Geary, is currently under the task of applying encryption options to it's client. For those nerdy at heart, there is the famed Alpine curses mail app, originating from the University of Washington. Looking up how to include this apps in ones work flow is easy enough as looking it up on Google, because those in the Linux community are always more than happy to share their experiences with each other.
