@sorenfeodor Thank you for the responses. I will stick with my current OS Lubuntu 18.04 since the computer I am using is very old and only Lubuntu (The older versions of Lubuntu) is an operating system that is running perfectly on it. I will however try to install either the snap version or the flatpak version of Opera since both flatpak and snap is supported on my PC.

RE: Opera browser doesn't update on Lubuntu 18.04Opera for Linux
@leocg Can this be solved? I found a similar issue, the guy is on Ubuntu 18.04, me I am on Lubuntu 18.04, maybe the two are related? That it might be a problem specific to Ubuntu/Lubuntu 18.04?:

Opera browser doesn't update on Lubuntu 18.04Opera for Linux
I have an issue, the Opera browser doesn't update on my Linux computer (My Linux distribution is Lubuntu 18.04 LTS).
When I go into the Opera browser it claims to be up to date with version 85.0.4341.47 (Even though it is clearly not the latest version of Opera), see the picture attached below.When I go into the terminal and type
apt-cache policy opera-stable
, it detects my current version and it detects also that there should be a later version, "Candidate: 98.0.4759.6", as seen on the picture below.When I run an update on my computer, as seen on the picture below, Opera browser is nowhere to be found, even though every other software I installed, even from outside my distro's repository receive updates normally.
I even checked in "Software & Updates", whether the repository of Opera is there, and it is there and active, as seen on the picture below, so I don't understand what the issue might be. Opera is the only proprietary browser I like to use due to the free VPN service, however I cannot really use it like this since using it without the necessary security updates poses a risk. I would be very glad if someone from the Opera team could fix this so I could continue using this great browser!
