Sorry, should have looked more. From the page:

These are different ways of writing programs that will execute on the
LEGO NXT brick. This list doesn't include all features, but should
include enough information to provide a good starting point for you to

There are 4 that run on Linux and two of those have an IDE.

Note that I have no experience with this, just an interest.
