You don't need open-watcom to compile 9x applications from other OSes... both gcc and clang, as well as wine, have multiple options for cross-compilation, no VM or docker needed.
I routinely use all 3 methods for compiling my own 95/98 applications from Linux.
For gcc I use the mingw toolchain, which is available as the mingw-w64 package on Debian-based systems, or https://mxe.cc/.
For clang I use clang-cl with the VC6 SDK. clang-cl pretends to be the Microsoft cl.exe compiler and actually works quite well if you know the right options to give it.
And finally, using wine you can either run the original MSVC toolchain compilers, or versions of gcc that were compiled to run on Windows directly; there are both old and new gcc versions that can produce Win9x binaries if you know where to look.
Some resources that have helped me over the years as well:

Yea this is some BS... gnome doesn't need any help to burn their own reputation to the ground, this is just a hitpiece by yet another one of their out of touch high and mighty contributors.
lol, lmao even
What I've seen lead to success:
- Arrogance
- Overconfidence
- Schmoozing with the right people
- Doing flashy work, whatever that means in a given situation
What I have seen lead to failure or, at best, being undervalued and ignored:
- Caring about teammates and your future self
- Caring about the end user and the business itself, when it conflicts with something sales, marketing, or a PM want
- Creating resilient, well-engineered systems
It's the same problem as anywhere else. Well-crafted systems are invisible and taken for granted. Saving the day by putting out a fire is applauded, even when you're the one who laid out the kindling and matches. Managers at all levels care about their own ego more than the company, product, or team.
Maybe I just spent too much time with ex-Microsoft hacks.
Sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about... and I wasn't referring to any specific company
I just want them to stop acting like egotistical know-it-all jerks all the time. They love to speak in black-and-white absolutes and IMO it just shows how much they really don't know.
I think Dunning-Kruger also applies to smart people... you don't stop when you are estimating your ability correctly. As you learn more, you gain more awareness of your ignorance and continue being conservative with your self estimates.
Still no full-duplex?
I find it surprising that JSON is so omnipresent when there are far more efficient alternatives
Do you also find it surprising that different types of food exist? /s
