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.

Will we get tabbed/grouped windows finally again? Been waiting for this for ~~half~~ more than a decade.
I'm a bit curious about why you have been waiting for it "only" for half a decade, since that feature was gone since 5.0, more than a decade now.
All in all there have been no mention of it coming back whatsoever, and for what I understand they removed it because the code behind it was causing lots of trouble with Qt5 and was impossible to mantain. And they've stated they won't be reviving this feature.
Fair point, edited.
I am still hoping beyond hope they do revive it, there seems to be others that do as well.
