Opera GX on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Manjaro 20.03 XFCE, MacOS, etc.)

@stakfallt imagine if all they need to do is pass an argument that lets it build for Linux. I've had to do that on, like, 3 Github programs, and the only addition that was needed was to alloy the program when building, to build for a Linux deb and rpm.

I have no issues beating a dead horse. Opera, you already have a browser working in Linux. There are plenty of Linux programs in place, like sensor readings for hard drive and CPU temperatures; activity per core on the CPU; ability to see how much RAM and swap space are being utilized; and the list goes on. Heck, you can see much of that just by running the "top" command on Linux. Surely if such simple programs can do what GX does on Windows, you should be able to do it easier on Linux, especially since it's all open source. Heck, even Windows is getting on the bandwagon. As they say, adapt or die. I for one will stop using Opera on either Linux or Windows if GX is not available as a viable browser by Q4 of 2021. The clock is ticking and the gauntlet has been laid down.

@asandikci Neither Leo nor I have anything to do with this. It's up to Opera Software, we are just volunteers. Though if they get to a point where they want someone to test it, they know how to contact me.

@sgunhouse oh sorry, you are right. But do the opera authorities know what we want?

@asandikci I'm sure they do, at least one has posted in this thread before. But with the diversity of Linux systems it is far from trivial to implement some of GX features on Linux.
