Windows 95 came on 13 floppies. That version excluded most fancy features, you can't compress ~360 MB to ~22.

Windows 11 could also "fit on a set of floppies" - although thousands of floppies would be completely absurd, it is not impossible.

There was a little magic to make that happen too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_Media_Format

Oh, I vaguely remember this from when floppy disks were still around (though not by the name DMF) - I remember them having a 1.44MB capacity but some smart people reformatted their floppy disks to get it up to 1.68MB.

CDroms were a luxury addon when W95 was released - but every machine had a 3.5

I want to say it was in the ~20 disk range...

There were a lot of really fun things that happened with W95 - a lot of "mischevious" cyberwar...

Like taking image of desktop as background came out with that - so nothing was clickable as a prank.

There were several backdoor utils

There were several prank links to something that seemed serious/work -- but then switched to a really loud voice yelling "IM WATCHING P*RN"

(The backdoor utils were really powerful though, and they remind me of a thing I am doing with Cursor/Claude -- Agent mode access to a fresh windows laptop as admin and having the bot fully config my new windows machine to my specs.
