I don't think such a thing exists, probably because there are few/no applications that target Linux and not OS X that aren't also open source. Can you give an example of an app that is only released as a compiled binary for Linux and not OS X?
- cozzyd 10y agoFPGA development tools from xilinx or altera are one example.
- monocasa 10y agoPretty much all HDL tools. I've heard on the grapevine that Apple's own internal chip teams have to use Linux or Windows because the HDL vendors won't port to OSX, even with Apple willing to fund the effort.
- jhbadger 10y agoIt's not so much "applications" as such, but it isn't uncommon for programs in bioinformatics to only be released as a binary (often only a Linux one) because they want to reserve the right to license their code. Or they will only release the source code to academic researchers because they don't like the idea of industry benefiting from their work. This is changing with a lot of people hosting projects on Github and the like, but is still there.
