Description
I found some other issues like #1953, but I don't really understand the reasoning why this isn't going to work. It's from 2017 so I'm guessing it's outdated, and this can be done now.
Take a look at tabby. It's another cross-platform electron based terminal. They have it working just fine. Tabs are in the titlebar, and they are draggable, and the window is also moveable from the titlebar. Why can't the same approach be used here?

Research direction
Start by reading issue #1953 and comparing Hyper's current Linux titlebar behavior with the Tabby approach referenced here. Determine whether draggable tabs, window movement, and titlebar integration are feasible in this Electron application; done means a decided implementation path or a documented reason the feature cannot be supported.
