Not the person you’re asking, but I’m 22 and personally I just love the pixelated OS aesthetic

I love pixel art, and Windows 95 looks so cute!

We must also not forget the most relevant add-on for the Windows 95 UI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death#/media/Fi...

BTW, it is quite enjoyable how the linked Wikipedia article illustrates the evolution of BSOD into the polished, polite and careful error screen of current Windows. "We're always getting everything ready for you" vs "Dude, your data is surely gone; maybe get a different job? Error code for your brain: BFF9B3D4".

I still prefer the brutality, though. Like a bucket of cold water.
