Every now and again I think a "Windowing/Compositing" desktop experience replacement in the form of an Unreal Engine based "game" would be cool.

Even supports VR. '80s Cyberpunk matrix here I come!

No I had not! It seems like what I was thinking.

Take the same idea and put it into Unreal Engine. Add further OS interactions like files, maybe a floating virtual window for web browsing etc.

The UX has to be done very well though otherwise you are a prediction by TV show Community:
