At this point I've just given up on the idea and picked up Brave. Sure, it's maybe not as appealing to myself as Opera GX, but no browser is worth staying on Windows, and the features are similar enough to what I liked about Opera GX. Wish I didn't have to say goodbye, but without a native app, it's time. Early bird catches the worm, but Opera GX doesn't want to be the early bird. Maybe I'll come back when (if) they finally release a native app.

Crazy to think we've been asking for this for half a decade and still no indication of any sort of plan to bring Opera GX to Linux. I love using it when I'm on Windows, such as when I use my laptop, but I mostly use my desktop, which 99% of the time, is running Linux. Other people here have already made great points:

• There is a growing number of gamers using Linux
• Linux users are more likely to be adventurous with their browser choices than Windows or Mac users
• The Steam Deck exists, it runs on Linux, and Opera GX is made to appeal to gamers. It seems like the NATURAL CHOICE for a gaming browser to be available on the de facto handheld gaming device. Totally a missed opportunity.

I'm not going to go back to being a regular Windows user just for this browser, no matter the fact that it is by far my favorite one, and I've been using Chromium instead. I want so badly to be able to recommend this browser to people, but what's the point if I'm not even using it anymore, myself? I keep checking every so often to see if there's any announcement that it's coming to Linux, and every single time, I am disappointed. It would be so awesome to be able to use the "My Flow" feature to send myself stuff that I can use on my laptop later when I'm not at my desktop. I know there are other ways to do it, but Opera GX has one of the more convenient methods.
