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.
