[Request]Opera GX for Linux

Hello Opera team!
I would like to ask you a question, will Opera GX be available for Linux devices, just like the original Opera browser? I am asking since I tried Opera GX on my Windows laptop, and it was by far the best browser ever, because of the features, Discord support and the appearance. However, my laptop was slow, having an older processor and a low rpm HDD drive, so I bought a Chromebook, and Opera works just fine on it, but I wished that there would be at least Discord integration. In addition, there are many users using Linux, so I think it would be good for Opera GX to work on Linux. Even if you announced that it would be here by 2025 or 2030, I would be happy. I am not going to protest and demand for it, since that would be rude and I know how hard it is, making a whole new browser, bringing it out of Early Access hoping there aren't any bugs, and then having to face another group of people asking for more, putting more stress and decision on the company. For such an innovative company, I hope you will at least try to bring support for Linux. However, your other browsers are wonderful, so I hope you will keep it up
!
Thanks
Haris
P.S. If that is not possible can you please try to integrate Discord in the sidebar of Opera?

First 2022 reply... Has development even started? Are Opera developers working on this at all? I'd like at least some update on what's going on. I don't even care if it's not done, I want to know if it is at least being actively developed or worked on... I know it's difficult to be done with something in a short time, I'm a victim of that myself, I just want to know if it is being worked on currently, or by someone. I've used Opera GX when I still used Windows, but had to go to Linux, and now I can't use my favorite browser. I'm currently using normal Opera because it has features I like personally, but man, Opera GX is just too good not to port over to Linux!
TL;DR: I want to know if Opera GX for Linux's development has started, or if it has been discontinued.

I just created an Opera account to +1 this. Using Centos 8. It would be nice to have a fully-featured browser that I can put resource limits on.

Yes! I was about to say the same thing... I think it would be great for everyone, as Operagx would get a lot of attention among Linux users

@firefloc Me? Of course not, I don't work for Opera Software. But Flow should work in regular Opera anyway.. Tell them (in this thread) what features of GX you want to see in a Linux browser, and maybe they can try. (Not working for them I can't promise anything.)

Not having opera gx on linux is the only thing stopping me from abandoning win10 for linux

+1 For Opera GX on Linux. No need for RAM or CPU Limiter. Just please release it even as a beta or alpha becuase the UI of GX is just so much better than normal Opera.
