Note: X2Go is great for overcoming platform specific bugs like requiring certain versions of XQuartz for a given app on macOS
MobaXterm
Terminal / SSH chient with X11 support.

- https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download-home-edition.html (select Installer edition)
Note: works great for accessing CentOS/Ubuntu, but haven’t fully tested this personally to access X apps on macOS
Cygwin

Note: mileage varies depending on the repo (i.e., if it’s not up to date).
