Yes, the common commercial conversion tools are either Windows or macOS.

I am not sure how your C++ skills are, but you might also have a look at
libgig's "korg2gig" tool before eventually deciding which way to go:

http://svn.linuxsampler.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/libgig/trunk/src/tools/korg2gig.cpp?view=markup

This tool converts from Korg format to gig format. If a C++ solution is an
option for you, then you might also take that as a basis (copy & adjust).
You would basically invert the process and printing sfz opcodes to a text
file is trivial.

Applies to everything here anyway. :)
