      How can I set Opera to default launch in private mode from PCLOS.
      I am using Opera (version: 103.0.4928.34)

      Also the same from withing FireJail if you know.
      thank you.

        Open up the properties for the Opera short-cut launcher. In the executable entry field, append a space and type:

         --private

            @myswtest Thank you! This helps, though not directly from the desktop short cut icon. Plasma threw an error when I tried it that way.

            I went to the filepath and add it from there.

            Thanks again.

              Thanks for this but. . .
              I'm not versed in command lines so not sure how to apply this to PCLOS KDE PLASMA
