I use the default cinnamon desktop and I have tried launching from the terminal with the same result everytime. Thank you all for looking into this.

If installed on linux mint 21.1 can it be used to always force opera to open maximized

I forgot to say Im using the newest version of opera and linux mint 21.1 I hope that helps. If more info is needed please let me know.

Im sorry I didnt say I ment to. I have been changing the shortcut command line of the desktop shortcut. If that is the wrong thing Im willing to change something else but Im not sure what it is I need to change if that is not it.

I triple checked. I pasted the line in no go and manully keyed in. It doesnt work on my computer at all.

That failed to work I tried the package from the site and the flat pak no good. If I cant get it to start maximized every time I cant use it.

@sgunhouse Thank you for looking into it.
