@john-53 As I said before I even installed opera on a different machine that didn't had a previous opera installation, I'm still getting this zombie processes on this computer

@john-53 I did this and even installed it on a different machine (with ubuntu 20.04 as well) where Opera was never installed, same outcome, still having zombie processes

@sgunhouse I downloaded the deb file from download.opera.com and installed it

@john-53 I followed your guide:

I found the best way to install Opera was by command line with sudo apt install opera-stable

I also add Opera to my repo by adding the key and download server.

wget -qO- https://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add –

sudo add-apt-repository “deb [arch=i386,amd64] https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free”

@john-53 This doesn't solve the issue, I'm still having zombie processes

ps -aux | grep defunct

Recently I switched to opera but I'm having A Lot of issues with the "opera_autoupdat" process, basically it flood my PC with tons of zombie process, I searched around on google and on this forum as well but apparently this is an old issues that isn't being resolved, do I need to switch back to firefox?
