Can I "emulate" like Windows98 UI while keeping all the new functions?

I don't know, but Linux’s reputation is that it can probably be modded out.

absolutly, for win 95 there is a xfce (like xubuntu or mint xfce) Theme called "chicago 95", not sure about 98 tho

95 is just as good. I just really like that old ass UI. Nostalgia ya know?

A default install of Linux Mint Cinnamon has a classic windows layout of a taskbar and start button.

But things like searching and updates actually work smoothly and quickly.
