So are you speaking greek or latin?

I just assumed you had an XY problem, but since you are getting more cryptic I will continue my assumptions and assume you are fine with the answer you got.

No bro, I actually dont know what is symmetric and asymmetric cryptography

Kleopatra is a user friendly front end for PGP. There are both Windows and Linux versions.

Not sure about using it offline though. I'm not sure if it needs to be connected for initial setup, ie generating keys.
