Unless a native package there really is no reason to run OS/2 anymore.
I was the worlds biggest os/2 fanboy for a looong time, so for me to say
this....

The GUI was lightyears ahead of it's time if you got into the whole thing,
everything was an object, etc etc.  It's just not worth the hassle anymore.
I miss OS/2 at times, but once I launch a VM and realize any "modern"
programs are just poorly ported linux programs, I quickly go back to
windows.  WSL runs the linux apps I want perfectly.

Between dosbox, winevdm, and other tools you can run 16 bit stuff on 
windows 11 without the hassle of a full virutal machine.  ie: I'm writing
this using Sempoint which is a 16 bit windows 3.1 program on windows 11.

Basically I think the only choices in 2024 are Linux or Windows if you want
things stable.

P.S. I see I jumped around in my paragraphs... I'm not gonna fix it because
I'm too lazy.  Sorry.
