Currently writing from a Mint laptop, works perfectly with minimal setup and no command line whatsoever, the only annoying thing is that the caps lock key behaves differently. Though Linux's reputation is that it can probably be modded out.

I also installed Diodon to recover the cool clipboard function that Windows has.

I could probably get the customizeable start menu, but i actually don't miss it that much

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

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.

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