I have a NVidia GTX 1050 TI desktop GPU. Its spec sheet doesn't say whether it support OpenGL ES, but my preliminary tests suggest that it does.
The reason I want ES on a desktop is that I'm developing an app for an embedded system that only supports OpenGL ES 2.0 and I want to use the same API on my desktop machine (and I also want it to to work for my team members, who use a lot of different PCs).
How do I know if a given desktop GPU supports OpenGL ES, other than write a GLES test app and try running it on the machine?
The OSes we use are mainly Ubuntu and macOS.

I'd assumed OpenGL ES was a hardware spec, so if the card supports it, it really doesn't matter which OS you're running it on. I may be wrong though. – music2myear – 2017-08-28T15:51:02.503
@music2myear: OpenGL ES may be a hardware spec, but the method to query for its support depends on the OS. – Stefan Monov – 2017-08-29T11:19:46.440
