After Using LPS OS and feeling its very fast and simple, I got interested in transforming Ubuntu into this kind of desktop but I cannot find any article or tutorial on the Internet about it.
I would like any help like linking to tutorial or making a tutorial for me here.

I don't know about LPS OS, but if you are looking for a start menu kind of thing then you can try this :
Install cinnamon Interface on Ubuntu
It may be what you are looking for
4I managed it my own way
First I went to Gnome-Classic Desktop Session
Then I Deleted the Bottom Panel By ALT+Right Click on the panel and selecting delete this panel.
After that
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-toolNext step download this
and follow this tutorial
and then go to Gnome-tweak-settings >themes and change everything to xp
Last step Change your wallpaper.
That's only for someone who needs a windows xp similar Desktop session
This isn't end yet , I still needed the convert to the Windows 95 theme.IceWM will be great but again , The fonts always seems too small when I get to that session.
There is a complete transformation project: Chicago95 - it makes all visual style of GNU/Linux look like Windows95.
Also there is Q4OS - Linux distribution based on Debian/Ubuntu with themes in various Windows styles (including 2000 and XP). It includes package manager that looks like install-shield for Windows.
If you wish to transform any Linux distro for looking and feeling as Windows 95/98 than you may need to install the GTK environment such as Gnome (default in Ubuntu), Mate (default in Ubuntu-Mate and Linux Mint) or Xfce4 (default in Xubuntu). The last one is the best for Chicago95.
You may use Redmond97 GTK theme for Gnome or Mate to get 98/2000's style for window decorations and SE98 for 98/2000's style icons.
