It seems that it is there by default if you use a normal desktop instead of a minimal Linux window manager :P However, the option to hide/remove/move the score title in the tab view would still be a nice QoL addition.
Here as seen in GNOME:
The tab system is still used for the parts, though, that's why it's still there. 😅
Like this:
Exactly, this tab bar has the purpose of showing part scores. One could argue that we could as well hide it whenever there is only one tab, but for the rest nothing about it is not implemented.
Actually the fact that the score name isn't already in the window title is a bit weird, and a bug. On macOS and Windows, it is there.
Edit: oh wait, now I see your comment that you are using a minimal window manager. If there is a way for MuseScore to detect that situation, someone could definitely go ahead and implement that, but I would be against adding a manual toggle for it (if we start adding toggles for trivialities like this, there's no end to it anymore).

:P my mistake, think I brainfarted and thought it was still like on MS3 with parts appearing below

That would be very cool!
When there are no part scores open, i.e. there is only one tab, the part scores tab bar isn't really useful and just takes up screen space, so could as well be hidden.
~### Your idea~
~Currenlty, MuseScore 4 and upwards is unable to have two scores open at the same time. However, MS4 still has a tab view for currently open scores. This is superfluous, takes up screen space, and gives an impression that you can open two scores in the same window. (pictures below)~
~### Problem to be solved~
~I suggest that we remove the tab-view until this is implemented, and move the score title to the center top of the window. I've added a short mockup I made of how this could look in GIMP further down.~
