Linux is basically Windows 3.1 in terms of progression.

The Redmond and Raleigh GTK themes can get Xfce pretty close to Win95, especially if you add some custom icons (I dindn't bother) but I've never seen a theme that looks like 3.1.

if you find it link it, I'd be interested

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

you can play with the raleigh theme to get it to look to your liking https://gist.github.com/ubone/86b1ed04b6630d42360e

riced FVWM is probably the closest you're going to get because nobody who was running a *nix at that time would have unironically wanted that bloated piece of shit

CDE for the win

There is a theme that is a spinoff of 3.1, but I think its an Openbox theme. Look on the various "-look.org" sites searching for 3.1, retro, etc

Linux is the kernel, it doesn't have a graphical user interface and so it doesn't look like anything.

Linux is the kernel. If you mean Linux distribution (distro for short) then any of them can be made to look however you want it to look because you're free to modify the code however you want.
