As others pointed out, finding Win98 drivers for that will be quite a challenge. The same probably applies to Windows 2K/Me. If for some reason you don't like XP, a good alternative for T43 is OS/2 based OSs, starting from 0S/2 Warp 4.52. I tend to prefer supported and maintained software as long as the device is expected to surf the internet, so ArcaOS would be a better alternative.
Linux support for 32-bit x86 is shriking day by day; at this point you'd better install NetBSD on anything i486 onward (but this is just my opinion).

If you're looking for a modern laptop or workstation to run NetBSD onto, you're in the right place. Useful resources Before posting here, please make sure...
It's my OS of choice, and the with the passing of time I eventually installed it on most of my hardware:
- Thinkpad T460 (amd64), my current daily driver. HW probe
- Thinkpad R51 (i386), for retrogaming: dual-booted with FreeDOS
- Mac Mini G4 (macppc), for fun stuff and as DLNA.
- Workstation (custom build, triple-booted with Windows and Slachware; HW probe) . Mainly used for development and building packages
- Raspberry Pi4 (evbarm64), my main server (web, ftp, nntp, mail, matrix, git)
- Raspberry Pi3 (evbarm64), secondary server (firewall + DNS)
- SDF and tildeverse (tilde.pink)
I always wanted a SPARC machine but never got one.
AFAIK there's no support for Optimus graphics on *BSD unless either of the 2 can be kicked out through the BIOS. I'd give an attempt to disabling nouveau/nouveaufb on boot.
