Yes. Some distributions, for example Ubuntu, ship a Mac-specific ISO file to use, due to the intricacies of Apple hardware.

The main advantages of Mac OS X over Linux are primarily the former's more widespread popularity and support. Mac OS X has more appeal because Apple, Inc.m its creator, created a popular portable media player known as the iPod. As Linux is not created by any single company, it has to gain users through it's own technical merits. Since there are more users available for Mac OS X, more companies also release products for it, whereas fewer products are available for Linux. With fewer programs available, people are less attracted to Linux for its other benefits, such as low cost or reliability.
