Nothing, the problem is your other OS doesn't run a X server
which is pretty much standard among *nix since decades to make
GUI stuff/progs working transparently through the network no
matter which version of unix is running on server/client, that's
all. There are some for M$, but I don't bother, found any M$
"OS" a pain in the ass using, any Linux wm is light-years ahead,
while you can still simply switch off the GUI.

Good luck
