Many tiling windows managers like i3 and XMonad have a tabbed layout: https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_changing_the_container_layout https://i3wm.org/docs

  You don't even need to go that hard core. Either Fluxbox or Openbox has it. Or you can program^Wconfigure FVWM to do it.

  > Many tiling windows managers like i3 and XMonad have a tabbed layout I'm aware of that - I use Sway on my linux machines, which ported that over from i3. But thanks for pointing it out, anyway :) What I didn't know is that openbox and fluxbox can do this too, as oblio notes (but that's more out of disinterest for those two - maybe I should have a closer look). I mainly pointed at awesome because I find it to be - well - awesome for being so flexible. You can do almost anything if you want to bend it for your specific workflows - be that in a tiling or floating layout. For example: I still have a couple of scripts lying around that introduce the workspace behavior of the Gnome 3 shell in an awesome desktop.
