    Linux has a wide selection of GUIs. For those comfortable with Windows I would recommend either Mint's Cinnamon or KDE.

    Don't most GUI's follow the same ancient desktop paradigms? Nevermind W98, they were there in Windows 1.x and in UNIX window systems like W before 1985, and I even remember DOS TUI's in products made by Borland as early as 1983 that basically worked the same.

    you can literally replicate Windows 98 if you wanted. XFCE is possible, KDE is easy to replicate. there's a very good git repo of this called Chicago95 that does everything, even the old Windows 95/98 boot screen.

    Hell I had my KDE Plasma desktop looking exactly like NeXTUP for awhile. someone even recently made a spot on version of MacOS9 for KDE Plasma.
