because there is no public version for Linux, based on gnome? Linux users have to do many steps to run osu! in linux
Judging by the screenshots posted by peppy, the OSX build runs via wine (or an OSX derivative of it), especially because of the wine and winePrefix folders.
This Build comes with its own version of it, fully configured and ready for osu.
The strategy to get osu running on linux is basically the same: install wine, and then run Windows osu with it.
The difference between the OSX build and the windows build might be some changes in the osu!.exe that make it more cross-platform compatible and the configuration for the packaged wine version. When the OSX version is "done" (i.e. works very well and has no blatant bugs), maybe peppy will setup a similar thing for linux based systems (very big maybe)
