Supermium – Chromium fork for Win 2003 and newer
If that's a concern for you, there are themes for GTK3 and GTK4 that replicate classic 3D widgets and remove much of the excess padding in modern apps. https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 (You should install both; Chicago95 is more actively developed, but B00merang gives you a GTK+4 theme that's currently missing from Chicago95.) Works reasonably well as a daily-driver, giving you a similar look to the modern SerenityOS GUI on a standard Linux system. Even the modern GTK+4 "responsive" apps work as designed, with some non-critical graphical quirks.

My Linux Distro
It's Xubuntu, https://xubuntu.org/ with the Chicago95 theme https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 that I installed with Chicagofier https://github.com/dominichayesferen/Chicagofier which I then installed the Goldeneye Windows 95 Theme for with Plus95 (that comes with Chicagofier) https://archive.org/details/winfiles_bondtheme_202005 - I then edited my panel and added a seperator (transparent, expand) after the last launcher and before the Window Buttons. Finally I changed my wallpaper to this: https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp1810627.jpg
