Look, there's already a native Linux version of "Normal Opera" and I would love to use OperaGX but I don't want to have to run it through WINE. Wine is exceptionally capable these days, yes, but a native version would be easier to install and run faster.

hey, Alter here
I recently switched to Linux, using Linux mint (mainly because people said it feels like windows), I am heavily dissapointed that Opera GX is not available on Linux, I really do love how GX feels which is why I want to use it, on Linux too
but unable to since it's not available, so I guess for now next best thing is using Brave since it has a function of remembering previous tabs if they were openI do hope that soon, with the rise of Linux users, GX could be available on Linux too

It would be awesome if they let Linux users test things early and give feedback like everyone else. We’re all here to help improve the browser, so why not let the whole community pitch in?

@Blaaaaaaaaaaaaa The Opera One is much much better than Vivaldi in every aspect. So there is no point to use it since Opera One give almost the same experience. So the point is not to suggest something that is fork of Opera. Point is to just tell Opera developers that Linux needs Opera GX since as almost everyone saying, there is switching to Linux by gamers and there will be, from Windows, like me. IIII use Opera One, BUT that is not the same as Opera GX. So we need to urge for Opera GX to be available on Linux!

Opera GX has become a bloated mess. I have moved to librewolf. I take back my request

I agree too! It's a wonderful browser but it can't be used on Linux! It's an absurd!

Let me now add, since it's been awhile, that I now have Zen browser with transparency loaded and looking beautiful but I still can't get OperaGX or, now, Opera Air. Like, that one is built on Opera One. There is no legit reasoning on this. Yeah, I've made Vivaldi "look" like GX, but it's not the same. No pinboards, sync is out of whack, etc. And yes, everyone
That's what they go by.

Hopefully they will finally port the browser to Linux, this post now has 224k views and it grows everyday.

@Boomsplodebagle Opera and GX aren't open source but they're based on Chromium, which IS. Theoretically, you could fork Chromium and work your way up from there.
