My GNU/Linux system using sway window manager feels at least as fast as Windows 95. I actually have been able to appreciate speed increases with computer upgrades. That is, until I open a web browser...

My GNU/Linux system using LXQt feels faster than I remember Windows 95 being. I attribute this mostly to higher refresh rate on the monitor, and optical switches and faster polling on the keyboard and mouse. Modern gaming hardware is good even if you don't use it for games.
