I would absolutely love and daily drive “modern Linux with Win95 UI”.

Skins and theming only gets it so far, I want it to actually be the Win95 front end with Linux underpinnings.

I recently saw this project, where someone got the Windows XP shell running as a Linux DE using a patched version of Wine. It supports both running Windows software under Wine and running Linux software. I doubt it's production ready yet, but it's pretty neat. https://github.com/mikuta0407/win4wine
