This is called Exposé. There are some attempts to mimic this with
X11. The best one is Skippy :

Skippy-XD, the version for X.org, is able to do the same as Exposé in
Mac OS X. The non X.org version is unable, with fvwm, to paint
correctly windows outside the current screen and is pretty slow to
take snapshots.
