No, because there are features that would still be useful for it to have. See for yourself:

5 sourcesI use git graph (VS Code Extension). It is very visual and you can interact with git functionality through the tree visualisation itself.
It shows the git tree and includes a diff mechanism. Used it since 2019 after moving from TortoiseHg.

In Ask HN: Where are the simple Git GUIs?I'm a paying user of Fork, it's my favorite Git GUI, I love it.
However, it "only" supports macOS and Windows. I'm migrating to Linux for my work and home computers, so I haven't used Fork in a while, just so I can get familiar with other tools available on Linux - and, importantly, learning to do more advanced Git operations in the terminal.
So far I still depend on a GUI, mainly VS Code's built-in Git integration and the GitGraph extension. (One of the advantages of this setup is that it also works for remote SSH editing.)

..But I sure miss using Fork. I used it everyday for the last couple years. It does everything I want to do with Git, the UI is familiar and well-designed. I whole-heartedly recommend it.

anPristupov is on HN, maybe he'd consider supporting Linux? I totally understand if you won't, since creating the same application for two OSes must be quite difficult already, especially for a small team rather than a company.
Probably the most underrated software I use daily are some of my Firefox extensions.
