Is there a Windows 98 SP2 Env for Linux? The peak of personal (non-sysadmin) computing experience. There were fewer BSOD than Windows 95, and all DOS games still worked unlike Windows 2000/XP where most DOS games worked.

		I've tried it for fun, but it quickly falls apart. The consistency and attention to detail that made the Windows 95 user interface good just isn't there when reskinning an entirely different piece of UI.

My fond memory is of XP (with the child's toy color scheme changed to the Win2000 one) or simply Win2000 - it actually had preemptive multitasking and protected memory, unlike 95/89.

Everything you need, nothing you don't. The OS/DE stayed in its lane.
