From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE has this.
Does it? I've never been able to find it
In Dolphin, right-click and then choose "Open in New Tab".
They mean being able to group several windows together as tabs, rather than tabs implemented in specific applications.
What would that look like?
Just like a bunch of windows stacked on top of each other that move and resize together with tabs in the title bar to switch between them
Here's Haiku's explanation (this also covers the tile feature which I had forgotten about but is also super useful): https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/gui.html#stack-tile
