Funny, I did exactly that for a friend a couple of years ago. The Windows 
98 image ran under PCem <https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/>, on a Linux Mint 
installation on an MSI Cubi 5.

I set up a “captive” user under Mint that, the moment you logged in, 
started the emulator running Windows. Shut down Windows, and it logged you 
out again.
