Another thing to mention is that gitkraken is made with Electron, therefore is not very performant, at least in Linux.

Arguably, it doesn't matter all that much for it's purpose. I found but kraken years back because it's electron basses and electron was new and shiny.
If performance is 2 seconds of lag and awquaurd nothingness then sure, don't use it. But also its relative to your machine, kernal and distro which is again not equal.
But yes electron takes up a decent chunk of memory on a machine with limited resources, don't run a GUI ๐Ÿ˜›. I have tested nwjs electron and other native webview based applications, electron is the worst but I still don't mind.
