I like the idea, but I also can't think of anything I'd personally use it for. Does anyone else have any Mac apps on their "run-on-linux" wishlist?

I think Adobe apps would qualify, no?

  I assume OP means Mac-only. It's pretty unlikely this this project will achieve more for Mac applications than Wine has for Windows applications.

iTerm, for one.

  I was a iTerm fan, but nowadays it runs super slow on my MBP. Granted it’s old-ish but 2015 is not so long ago. Alacritty is way faster in my experience.

  Any particular reason why when there's a plethora of good Linux-native terminal emulators?

    All my favorites are Linux-native. And yes, I have used Mac full-time for >3 years.

    iTerm2 is markedly different to the terminal emulators available for Linux. There's a whole bunch of stuff in it, that amongst other things tries to couple it to the operation of a shell. MacOS users asking how to do what they do with iTerm2 in other terminal emulators is a fairly common thing.

My company uses Tuple for pair programming. That leaves me out as Linux user from our pair-programming-sessions (Jitsi and Google meet with screensharing does solve some). Not sure if this is a blessing or if I'm really missing out.

Sketch. At my company we use a mix of PC running Linux and Mac. Being able to run Sketch on Linux would open perspectives for designer types. Although the switch to Linux would meet opposition for other reasons. :) The home page of Darling specifies "experimental support for running simple" GUI. Does anyone have any idea whether Metal support (which Sketch uses) is out of the question?
