Windows 98 is actually a little outdated.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.
