[Request]Opera GX on Linux

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...

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

+1 Gaming will eventually go to Linux some day.
The Distribution Windows and the x68 Architecture are at its limit and Apple is already showing that ARM64 or other Architectures will replace the current one.
If Opera wants to keep going Opera Gx needs to go to Linux aswell. -
Jjgthechosenone last edited by@h2-san Years later. Still nothing. As more and more people start moving to linux due to their complete distain for Windows 11, Opera has not made a GX version for linux..... Man this is bullshit

I'm still waiting for Opera GX on my Fedora....
Love the built-in background music from this browser, but only on Windows (a boring OS).... -
tomasso last edited by leocg@poorboy03 IF boring would be maybe acceptable, its borderline the worst OS on the market behind everybody, miles behind.
OSx is not like a wonder but with the full eco its great, + with the Google implementation of full office+ soft that is replacing mic.office + the integration with gmail and corp.suite easy of use and from anywhere web and the gdisk coop etc, windows is uff.. am still rocking win10 just for gaming ok but linux is the way for advanced people and fun people, Mac for the "artist" etc /for me boring OS the same same same, /btw I have 10+ years win/mac/linux all the way and can clearly daily see the diff.
Win 11 is so badly designed even the UI implementation its plain horrible stuff.The thing GX is not like this lusk on linux is baffling for me , in late 2023

How is this still not a thing???? Every browser worth using has Linux support - I suppose the Opera team has willfully consigned GX to that pit where the likes of Internet Explorer, Safari, and Netscape rest in hated obscurity....
