You could try a live distribution like Knoppix to test it on Linux.

Would save you the trouble of actually installing it.
Hi! Primarily, this jam was created for Linux users, but I feel like it's also important that it is open/available to people who're interested in exploring supporting Linux from other platforms. Including a Linux build is a requirement listed in the jam's rules (and has been since 2017). Since that rule is a fundamental part of the jam's identity, I feel that it's important to stick with it.
That said, shipping a Linux build via a packaging tool and learning about the ins and outs of that/discovering and responding to any issues you find can be an important part of gaining the experience needed to support Linux, so I see that as very much within the spirit of the jam.
Hope that helps!
You can try using nw.js

As controversial as it can be at times, you could theoretically ship it as an electron app. I assume it's not difficult due to its prevalence for traditional software that would otherwise not be on Linux. I could be wrong, so I'm going to have to look into it more. If it's simple enough, it's an option.
