Old versions of SuSE Linux came with some X server for DOS. However, that only allowed you to display the graphical user interface screen: The actual graphical apps (the X clients) had to run on a Linux or Unix server elsewhere, as DOS was neither multitasking nor had any X client apps ported to it. The same problem existed for X servers for Windows, while on BSD Unix based MacOS versions, you could also run versions of your client software ported to MacOS, as you could guess. I may have missed some other possibilities, but that was what my interpretation of X for DOS and Windows possibilities was.
