@xzero Right now, if I rerun the script it just says that Symlink is already up to date. Nothing to do., and the first time I ran it, it output all the good output messages (I read the script to see what it did, so I saw the conditions for the output messages. The fact that Opera for Ubuntu 20.04 works out of the box for you is... well, strange? Since it doesn't for me. Maybe the issue was that I ran it with Opera running. I'll reinstall it sometime later when I don't need to use it.

@xzero I ended up deleting my installation and re-installing opera, an now the installation directory is somewhere in /usr/lib, not in /snap. Now I ran your script and it said it worked correctly, but stuff like Netflix and Spotify still didn't work after resetting the browser. Is there something else I can take a look at to maybe fix it?

@jaaudson My opera seems to be installed in /snap/opera/106/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera, which is a read-only directory. Is there something I can do about it to follow the steps you describe (or any other)?

@xzero Thing is, my Opera (73.0.3856.344 in Ubuntu 20.04.1) seems to not be installed in /usr/lib/opera. Opening the about page in the browser informs me that it's actually installed in snap/opera/106/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera, which as it turns out it's a read-only directory.
I later learned about the locate -b opera command, which tells me that that's the only directory that contains packages opera uses (I was expecting to find duplicates somewhere).
Any clue what can be done here, if anything? This is my first Linux distro, I used to use Opera in Windows and loved it, hence why I'd really want to keep it now in Ubuntu, don't wanna migrate to Firefox or Chrome.
