   Windows 98 is actually a little outdated.   
      
   But Linux in a 32 bit version could eventually work.   
      
   I usually use Linux Mint in a 19.?? version, which was the last   
   available 32 bit Linux Mint in existence.   
      
   Sure, the computers from that era were slow in comparison to computers   
   today. But that doesn't say, that they a now scrap or broken.   
      
   They could actually work like fresh from the factory.   
      
   Only that would be slow in comparison to modern computers.
