        Edit the default opera shortcut (/usr/share/applications/opera.desktop) so that instead of this

        Exec=opera %U

        it lauches this

        Exec=opera --start-maximized %U

        and repeat for the 2 more lines starting with "Exec" under "[Desktop Action NewWindow]" and "[Desktop Action NewPrivateWindow]" if needed.

              No problem here with 60.0.3255.70, as with all the previous versions of opera.
              If you close all opera windows and launch it from a terminal like so

              opera --start-maximized

              does it start maximized?

                I try that today and it works perfect - if you do it as root 😜
                With OpenSuse Leap 15.1 and Tumbleweed it's great.
                Thx 😉

                  What do yoy mean "as root"? It works for me if you run opera the way I say above, but as a user. You can also edit opera's shortcut so as to always launch with --start-maximized with simple user rights.
                  Unless you mean that you changed the /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop, where you do need root rights.

                    OpenSuse Tumbleweed or Leap ist not manjaro linux; you need the root to change major setting on the system. If you can do that without root-rights, the you have a big problem with your system 🙂

                      Can you please describe the exact procedure you do in opensuse in order to change a .desktop file?

                        See, that's where the difference lies:
                        I can do that as a user, no problem, because I edit my own profile.
                        Installed programs, or program folders, for this I need root rights.
                        Open the console, type Pw, then do the required action.
                        Mostly I work with

                        zypper
