I loved playing videos that popped out and wrapped around corners. How is this not a thing now? How is there no similar compositor?

There's Wayfire. The github says that's it's inspired by Compiz. I've never used either of these so I don't know how similar they are to each other. It is Wayland though so if you're not into that kindof thing it could not be for you.

Nowadays we just have multiple monitors, and even windows supports multiple desktops with quick ways to change between them. Though I think the best thing to come out of that addition is the fact that waking up your computer doesn't mess up your window layout anymore. Like it does for a second, but then it fixes them all less than a second later. It was honestly one of my biggest gripes with having multiple monitors.
