unable to install Opera browser

Hi, last week I installed Opera browser in the Linux section on two Chromebooks.
I downloaded the installation .deb link from the Opera website and everything went smoothly.
Now I try to install Opera browser on my own Acer 513 and it wont work.
Using the same .deb installation file I get a message saying the following packages have unmet dependencies.
The list is rather long, they all begin with Depends, followed by lib and something behind, ending with but is not installable.
Does anyone have a suggestion what the problem might be?
Regards, Ton. -

I have been reading, I do not know much about computers but could it be possible my problem has something to do with ARM64 vs x64? Something about the processor in my newer Chromebook?
It is a Acer Spin 513 and has a sticker on it saying Qualcomm Snapdragon.
And if so, does that mean no Opera browser installation on this one within Linux?

A bit un-clear why you used a "Linux" version on a Chromebook
Unless of course, you've installed a custom Linux distro for a Chromebook.
Anyway, did you look in the Play Store while running in the Chromebook ? Opera is in there.
If you prefer to do a manual download and install of Opera for a Chromebook ... navigate to the Opera Download page, then scroll down to the list of operating systems and when you see the Chromebook option, you will see a manual download link (it specifically states "if you don't use the Play Store").
Click that link and you'll see a download in progress for the Chromebook version of Opera.

@myswtest I wish to install the Linux version of the Opera browser on the Acer Spin 513 too simply because there is a huge difference in appearance between the Linux installed version compared to the Android from the Play Store.
And I mean Huge!
I will keep on trying, Ton. -
