This is a regression introduced in 1c4217a.
Doom unsets command-line-x-option-alist when it reasonably suspects it's
not running in an X environment. The heuristic for that is checking when
`initial-window-system` is set to `x`, but as it turns out, PGTK builds
of Emacs set this to `pgtk`, so PGTK users were deprived of Emacs' X
switches, like --geometry, --foreground, --font, etc (they'd throw an
"Unknown option" error at startup). This was fixed.
However, this heuristic isn't perfect. Not all PGTK users are on X (I'd
hazard to guess most of them aren't). So a more reliable check is
needed (and it's too early in the startup process for us to call
display-graphic-p on any frame). The `(not IS-LINUX)` or `(or IS-MAC
IS-WINDOWS)` I had previously used (before 1c4217a) wasn't enough
either, because users can (and do) install X on these
systems (especially where WSL is involved). Still, until I've found a
better one, this is an acceptable workaround.
