I want to have an ideal 1:1 Linux DE environment that replicates Windows 3.1 with its default programs. I wonder, how many followers can this idea have?

The XPQ4 theme devs appear to be working on that. You might want to email them.

>it should work with any other Linux kernel-based operating system that features that KDE Plasma graphical desktop environment.
I feel like its system requirments would be too huge.

I've toyed with this exact idea a few times in the past. But I never gotten around doing it for one specific reason: FreeType does not (at least last I checked it didn't) support the old FON bitmap font format Windows 3.x uses to draw system texts. Converting the bitmap fonts to TrueType fonts is going to be a pain in the ass. You have to "draw" them from boxes. Not how I love to spend my little spare time.

And if you aren't going to use the proper fonts, then why even bother?
