I would be quite surprised if a modern Linux could run the original binary without gymnastics. Windows is the only OS which prioritizes backwards compatibility.
The game isn't stable under modern versions of Windows.
there's a linux version off archive.org I managed to get running last year. this is a perfect problem for a flatpak to solve however.
You're probably right about the native version, but the Windows version works fine: https://www.protondb.com/app/297000?device=pc
