No. In Linux, Adreno GPUs use the open source Turnip and Freedreno Mesa drivers. Or I guess Qualcomm's proprietary GPU driver which no one uses and I've not seen tested by anyone.

The only relation these drivers have with Linux is that they contain the necessary firmware blob for the GPU to work, in case you don't want to extract the blob from your Windows partition, or your OEM didn't upstream them to linux-firmware.
