I really like the Chicago95 theme here, it's great with XFCE/xubuntu on low spec devices.
I also like installing the Window Maker and OpenBox WMs with a bunch of retro unix backgrounds--they kind of have the feel of CDE and old Solaris systems. I haven't used it but apparently someone is working on a more modern retro feel CDE-inspired thing here: https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE
Depending on my mood I can log in to a retro Windows or Unix experience. I haven't looked deeply into it but I think saw a Mac System 7 inspired WM theme out there too. IMHO retro modern computing environments are quirky fun that should be a bigger thing. :)
It's not canon to Windows 95, but XScreenSaver pairs nicely to go with the overall late 90s retro feel too: https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ These screensavers are exactly the kind of thing workstations of the era would have been blasting in computer labs nearly 24/7.
Just a tip, JWZ doesn't like direct links from here to his site. Copy and paste the link into a new tab for it to work. I don't even remember why, but it's been tradition for years now.
