I agree - I apologize for any misunderstandings - there’s nothing wrong about it - it’s just that your setup has taken a long time to create and recreating it on linux may not be feasible due to the complexity involved.
You can at least theme it - from what I read it works best on Cinnamon edition and you can add plank, tint2 and conky.
For you drawers you could use something like tint2 which can create a drawerlike appearance using a button to do a specific task like opening the file manager at a specific place. And tint2 can create stacked panels - and it can stay below so it doesn’t take screen estate from your apps.
There is also various kinds of docks like Plank or Docky plus conky to create statistics on the desktop. Another tool is gkrellm to monitor system.
I would say going - Openbox using Tint2, Conky and Plank - would be the logical path to achieve what you want as this is a combination screaming for customization.
There is also various editions Openbox and desktop editons like LXDE and LXQt.

You could take a look at the mabox spin Mabox Linux 21.09 ISO refresh as it is based on Openbox and has a really fresh look at desktop and navigation.
