I usually will install perforce perge (p4merge, it's free) as a git diff viewer in a *nix environment, so running "git difftool" will use that instead of the normal text/diff view, if you prefer a GUI diff.

If you want a full git GUI (that does more than just diff viewing), there are a lot of options: gitk, gitkraken, Github Desktop, etc. And of course, there's Visual Studio Code (vscode) which runs in Linux and has plenty of git integration.
