Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features
You can supplement Chicago95 with an experimental GTK4 theme from the b00merang project https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 You will have to install it manually by overwriting your user-level GTK4 config, but then it will give you proper styling with the latest apps, including full support for mobile UX 'convergence'.
(Since it seems that the b00merang repo has gone mostly unmaintained, it would be nice if it got imported to Chicago95 itself.)

Windows 98 Icons
Chicago95 is nice, but these days you should also install the (experimental) GTK+4 theme from b00merang https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 to get proper styling in the latest apps.

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.

Haiku OS: The Open Source BeOS You Can Daily Drive in 2024
https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 has a theme for GTK+4 with classic widgets. Unfortunately you'll need to replace your GTK+ user config outright to use it because the new version has no support for themes.

Liberating the MacBook Air 2013 with Linux
Have you tried https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 or any of the similar themes by that project? There's a bit of extra padding still but it's vastly more usable than the Adwaita default. (And of course you don't need to bother w/ the retro icon packs shown in the screenshot, the basic GTK+ theme is plenty enough.)

Super Proud of my progress with Mint!

Linux 98
So I decided to marry the best of both worlds. This is my 2012 laptop running Linux Mint 20.2 running the Windows 9x theme made by b00merang over on GitHub. It gets very close to looking like the Windows classic theme. So much so that it has actually fooled me a couple times when I was not paying attention.

A Touch of..... Nostalgia?

How do I make sure a software is properly uninstalled?
I use a program called Revo Uninstaller found here. There is a paid and free version, I use the free version and it works fine. When you select a program to uninstall through Revo, it will launch the program's uninstaller first, then it will find leftover files/registry data and give you the choice to delete them. Make sure you look at what it wants to delete, one time I installed a self-contained Windows 95 program, I think it was this. When I went to uninstall it with Revo, it wanted to delete the whole Windows folder...

Swinging Back to Open Standards
If the problem to solve is piping an emacs buffer to a Windows 95 text mode binary and replace the buffer with the text output, the solution could be
1. Run Windows 95 in an emulator, maybe a webassembly one.
2. Generate the mouse clicks and keyboard events to run that program, probably in a full screen DOS window. It must be in the %PATH%
3. In the same way type in the buffer in the input of the program.
4. OCR the output.
5. Replace the content of the buffer.
I think it is feasible.
Step 1 is for example https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95
I wouldn't be surprised that steps 2 to 4 are already implemented in some form.
Step 5 should be trivial.
