Found a port of a game I like and wanted to check it out but it's Windows 98 and I know Windows 10 has shitty compatibility options that never work. Really don't want to go about setting up a virtual machine if I can get away with it.

    Just to note that there will actually be a VM involved. WSL1 was a compatibility layer more similar to Wine, but it didn't have the best compatibility cause it didn't have all system calls etc, including notably here missing multilib support. WSL2 is just a VM using Hyper-V and uses a full real Linux kernel, and is necessary here to actually run 32-bit binaries
