@Blaaaaaaaaaaaaa The Opera One is much much better than Vivaldi in every aspect. So there is no point to use it since Opera One give almost the same experience. So the point is not to suggest something that is fork of Opera. Point is to just tell Opera developers that Linux needs Opera GX since as almost everyone saying, there is switching to Linux by gamers and there will be, from Windows, like me. IIII use Opera One, BUT that is not the same as Opera GX. So we need to urge for Opera GX to be available on Linux!

Opera GX has become a bloated mess. I have moved to librewolf. I take back my request

I agree too! It's a wonderful browser but it can't be used on Linux! It's an absurd!

Let me now add, since it's been awhile, that I now have Zen browser with transparency loaded and looking beautiful but I still can't get OperaGX or, now, Opera Air. Like, that one is built on Opera One. There is no legit reasoning on this. Yeah, I've made Vivaldi "look" like GX, but it's not the same. No pinboards, sync is out of whack, etc. And yes, everyone
That's what they go by.

@Boomsplodebagle Opera and GX aren't open source but they're based on Chromium, which IS. Theoretically, you could fork Chromium and work your way up from there.

DjBasA-GX last edited byI would love for Opera GX to be available on Linux.
The only thing that holds me back from fully switching to Linux is Opera GX and Game Pass.The regular Opera has a Linux version, so why not Opera GX?
(Opera GX is even on Mac, while according to the Steam Hardware Survey, there are more Linux gamers then Mac gamers) -

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.

Hi Opera GX Team,
Many Linux users—including gamers and developers—are eagerly waiting for Opera GX on Linux. With the rise of Steam Deck, Proton, and gaming-focused distros, there's a strong use case for bringing your browser to this platform. Please consider it!
Kind regards,
A Linux user -

I guess the useless features on the Windows version mean more to the dev team. A good way to lose a dcent chunk of users that is. No worries, why even have a fourm at all when the suggestions get ignored anyways?

OperaGX on i think It'll be great on Linux Mint.
A lot more Improvement should be made including with the Unreal Engine, but I would consider it for Linux mints to wait until Microsoft. Stop supporting. Windows 10. There's still more time for people who's using Windows 10 right now. But when Microsoft drops the bomb that no longer supports Windows 10 expect the hundreds of people will jump to Linux mints. Who knows maybe Microsoft will take a different approach for Windows 10. Maybe Microsoft will support old hardware in the lower version of Windows 11. Even more people to decide to upgrade their computer or state in a lower version that will teach Microsoft to learn more how it works. Saving some people some time to think. Without losing all those people that's going to Linux mint cuz I know they're going to go to Linux mint after no longer support for Windows 10 that will make Microsoft lose a lot of people. And it's already starting slowly. Given Microsoft a shot in the back. But anyway that's how I see it but you know Microsoft they don't seem to like me. Cuz I'm actually telling them the truth it's going to hurt them and going to lose a lot of money if they jump to Linux mint. But I'm not considering what Microsoft's plan is whatever their plan is I know it's going to hurt them. But I'm not here to talk about Microsoft I'm just here to talk about Linux improving they shouldn't prove before October comes cuz that's the deadline. Linux mint got plenty of time they should work very hard before October comes this year. To make them be more comfortable jumping to Linux mint. Or other people that's considering they still want to use Windows but Linux will make people be more comfortable of using Linux. The people still likes those window styles then Linux mint will be your number. But yeah anyway they should make this on Linux. Linux mint. Might be a component one day to Windows. And I have a feeling it would be in computers in the stores one day. If they work hard on Linux mint, it would be a very dominant to Windows. Linux Mint. They should not make it limited. They should make it fully working for any software. Just like Windows. down this road I have a feeling it would be dominant but anyway they should make it work for this too that's one step closer to reaching that goal of being the best Linux mint out there like Windows. But anyway I think you doing a great job. If you want me to talk more about this just post me and I'll continue talking about this windows and Linux mint challenge I don't know. But great job

The move to drop Windows 10 isn't going to impact most people enough to make them change to Linux. They're just going to do what they always have. The sheep will follow, and Microsoft will continue to laugh all the way to the bank. I have nearly thirty years of experience on Linux, and I love it but the world doesn't care about us. Microsoft and Apple have spent orders of magnitude more than the GDP of most G7 countries on advertising and marketing to convince you that there are only two choices and everything else is for tech nerds and hobbyists.
Don't delude yourself into thinking that Microsoft is going to suffer any significant losses from dropping support for old versions of Windows as new ones are released.
