Absolutely love this! I'm sure there is gonna be bugs at first, since there are a lot of different distros. Maybe we could get a list of currently stable and known working operating systems? I'd like to see it come to arch, specifically cachyos

The whole reason I switched to regular Opera instead of GX is because GX was not available on Linux. I can't wait to get back to GX

@MehmetAliYCL There seems to be an older package at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&SeB=nd&K=opera-gx-stable&outdated=&SB=p&SO=d&PP=50&submit=Go. Nothing new for the latest 128.0.5807.97 though.

Not sure if it will help with errors, but you can try to launch Opera GX with the --no-sandbox command-line switch.

Recently, the updates have been consuming a significant amount of CPU and RAM.

Can't watch HBO Max (likely Peacock too) due to their DRM even with user-agent spoofing. I don't think this package has the codecs needed. When will this be patched? Stuck on firefox for now.

I use EndeavourOS distro, which is based on Arch. Arch is growing so much, so why isn’t there a version of Opera GX for Arch distros?

Thank you so much for getting us a Linux version! I just downloaded this on POP and it seems to be working great, but I expected as much as its just a flavor of Ubuntu IIRC. I am wanting to switch to Bazzite or CashyOS but it looks like this wont work on Arch. I know you cant support all distros, but Arch is the base for three of the biggest gaming Linux distros out there. It would be fantastic to get Arch support.

Thank you again! Keep up the good work!

As one of the many people who requested GX on Linux, thank you to the developers for working on this. Pleased to say that it has been working fine on my Manjaro installation using the package in AUR.
