Couldn't find that file in my system files. Everything went fine until opera.desktop . All I found was the icon shortcut. -

You need to either use sudo nano in terminal or use your GUI text editor with root/elevated privileges.

Tried to get sudo with gedit admin:// and no joy. But the last update of Opera, 85.0.4341.47, fixed the desktop icon link. That now opens properly. The start menu icon, not so much; it still starts minimized. -

or use the terminal with sudo nano /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop

I just upgraded to Opera 86.0.4363.23 and there's still the maximize problem.
Maybe there's something about Ubuntu 20.04 that can't be easily fixed in these latest versions of Opera.

I have the same update with Mint 20.3 Cinnamon 5.2.7 . The Linux kernel is 5.4.0-109-generic, and the desktop icon is opening up maximized. It's the start menu icon that opens in a small window like Tor does. -

Same issue, the start-maximized and windows-size solutions didn't work here
To make opera remember to stay maximized when I close it, I had to change the
[Settings > On startup]
back to:
"Retain tabs from previous sessions"If I change to either of the 2 other options (begin fresh... or Open a specific...) then when I close > reopen Opera the windows go back to that small windowed mode.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Opera 88.0.4412.27 -

I don't have an icon on the desktop. I have a panel widget which would qualify as a menu entry.
I am using EthanNisimura's fix.
Each Opera update does reset /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop to Exec=opera %U but that doesn't seem to be an issue. I've been leaving it unchanged recently.
What seems to matter is the /.local/share/applications.opera.desktop file. It doesn't get changed with updates.
As long as it remains Exec=opera --window-size=1920,1080 then Opera always stays maximized.
