Well. There was plenty of "new" UI enhancements over the years which I resisted as much as possible. Imagine a meme of Garth from Wayne's World, "We fear change..."
I always hated the more smooth and colorful Windows XP theme. Computers back then were resource constrained enough that you'd notice the fact that it wasn't "free". It wasn't until Windows 10 that I stopped trying to make the shell look as much like Win2k as possible. The extra UI eye candy on modern systems is as near as matters "free" now, as long as you have plenty of RAM.
Now I am just trying to make Windows 11 look as much like Windows 10 as possible.
