DOSBox-X provides a long list of enhancements compared to regular DOSBox (or DOSBox staging). You can find an overview of some of the enhancements on the flathub page: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.dosbox_x.DOSBox-X where you can also see the metainfo.
One possible limitation of DOSBox-X, is that its dynamic recompiler only works on x86, x86_64, arm and aarch64, and will not compile on ppc or s390x. As such the spec file contains the statement: ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} %{arm} x86_64 aarch64
DOSBox-X is typically updated once a month with a new release.
