try running a plain c linux userspace program from the 90s without recompiling it on any modern distro of your choice

  Specifically you can't run a.out binaries anymore and ELF came about in 98. So that's a pretty hard limit. Linux can run binaries that were compiled to the latest binary standard in 98.

    ELF came out in 1994, kernel 1.0.9. Slackware 2.0 was one of the first distributions to ship it.
