Kubuntu user here. The only way I can use Opera GX is by booting into my Windows install.
But Windows is trash.
I tried to run GX with Wine, but the Installer kept crashing.
We might have to start a petition on change.org for this.

When will Opera GX be available for Linux? Opera is already available on Linux so why isn't Opera GX?

I've been using a Steam Deck as a pc lately. Seems like a poor choice to be the "Gaming Browser" and not support the gaming device.
+1 for Linux.

Browsed through the forums a bit and, although i saw a lot of posts for opera GX support for Linux, most of them are outdated. So i decided to make a new one - as a reminder. The 2 or 3 most viewed of those posts have over 100k views and hundreds if not thousands of comments. Please team opera make it happen!

It is crucial to develop Opera GX for Linux due to the growing popularity of the Linux operating system among tech enthusiasts and developers. Linux users value performance, customization, and innovative features, making Opera GX's unique gaming-focused browser a perfect fit. By offering Opera GX on Linux, Opera Software can tap into a vibrant and passionate community, expanding its user base and reinforcing its commitment to inclusivity. Furthermore, this move would encourage healthy competition and spur further advancements in browser technology for Linux, benefiting the entire open-source ecosystem. Ultimately, developing Opera GX for Linux would provide an exceptional browsing experience tailored to the specific needs and preferences of Linux users.

Team Opera please we want it. It will help a lot of rice makers too. Imagine this -
You use a Macbook Air m2 (Midnight Black) / Dell XPS 13+ (Black). With Archcraft running on it with cool Opera GX features. How cool will it be to sit and blast through productivity job on linux while listening to the Opera Music.
Please release it on Linux this year...

Opera has done some interesting things in the past but at this point it feels like they are ok with always taking a backseat view and staying second place to other browsers, even some of the Chrome spinoffs that aren't Edge.
They had Opera Neon, that April fool's retro browser skit, and they have Opera GX. Not 1 of which is available on Linux even though their base opera browser is, and despite showing the clear capabilities of making such amazing things a reality they seem intent on making nothing more than unmaintained glorified proof of concept projects and a so-so Chrome spinoff, there was even a time they weren't based on Chrome and that time has passed...
Eh, if Linux support of all things isn't in the picture I guess this might be a lost cause.

Honestly I'd just be happy enough for them to release it as a flatpak or at the very least as a .deb package. Someone would eventually make a flatpak which will just run it in a sandbox and make it available for every other linux distro independently. Heck, even I would try it as I experience with making flatpaks and can just see the Manifest files of other flatpaks. Can't do anything if there isn't at least one release of OperaGX for Linux though...

The definitive point is right here
From this point, not doing it is just stupid -
