I'm pretty sure the wrapper used in the Mac Client is based on wine.Two issues: as you mentioned I very much doubt they are compatible. There's no standard Linux unlike Windows and there's just not enough users to justify one.
The macOS client isnt actually a new client it's the Windows client with a compatibility wrapper; in fact it functions the same as Wine on Linux./

There's plenty of how-tos on the Wine AppDB on how to get FFXIV working. (It still won't work quite as on Windows. Dual-booting for games is still the best option).
That's the trouble. I have seen people getting it to run through wine on Ubuntu but its all that messing about with Winetricks and what have you. Me and Wine don't mix. (Not talking about the drink either ) :P
