Hello... I'm curious if there is a simple setting in Opera to allow it to load up in maximize view. I mean I can click the button for Maximize but once I close the browser and reopen it it goes back to non maximize

Modify Opera's shortcuts so that --start-maximized is passed to Opera.

Don't bother I have given up on this $tupid linux system. Under windows doing simple tacks takes seconds with Linux its like getting your wisdom teeth pull. Linux will never be a mainline system ...... Never.... Simple tasks in Linux is a nightmare. And , another thing why on earth do you want to type all day long when a simple click is all it takes with Windows lol

@Sn00ker Without knowing what distro and desktop environment you're using and whether you're using the Snap or Flatpak or rpm/deb version of Opera, I don't know if I can give specific directions, but:

In a text editor, paste the following and save it as OperaMax.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Opera (Maximized)
Exec=opera --start-maximized
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon=opera

Then, right-click the file on your desktop, go to properties and make it executable (on permissions tab for example).

Or, find Opera's shortcut in the start menu, copy it to your desktop and then edit it with a text editor to add the --start-maximized part.
