Hi everyone,

I was wondering if you know a way to use the generated OpenPGP key created trough Thunderbird to sign PDF's ?

(Devuan distro)

Thanks.

You can. I'm not particularly familar with Thunderbird, but you can export your key to system/user keyring then you can sign any data you want using GPG. However, I doubt tool exists for you to embed the signature to a PDF like x.509 signing would.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
