[Request]Opera GX on Linux
August 23, 2020 - What we want is a Linux build (or at least source code so we can build it ourselves and write patches for individual distros), for native performance and fewer bugs. If the only way to get GX is to run it in Wine, I'm just gonna use Firefox. ... @linuxrocks2000 fax I want opera GX for its resouce saving software and I will use another browser if we do not get opera soon.

u/INeedABetterNickHelp u/shadow2531 u/CrazyIronMyth u/nakshtrapunia u/KeeperCP1 u/TheUpvoterOriginal I've GOT IT WORKING...under wine, not natively. I use chromium and regular opera but always wanted opera gx on linux, and they are working on it. It took ALOT of experimentation and deleting and recreating wine dirs. What finally worked is> Install wine, from opensuses repos, which have .debs with latest (if you're using debian 10 or ubuntu 18.04 youll need this), Debian 11 and 20.04 have newer wine. The point is to have wine 5.1 or above. Tutorial for debian and ubuntu users. run winecfg on terminal (winecfg), then install mono (net framework), when prompted. Download and run opera gx installer (wine OperaGXSetup.exe) Let it run until it freezes, then go to terminal and press cntrl + C to abort. (This is needed to make registry entries but fails before it can copy all files) Now, go to a windows machine, (I used windows 11 beta in virtualbox) install a fresh opera gx copy, then go to C:\Program Files and Copy the whole "Opera GX" directory to a thumb drive (or mounted shared drive in virtual machine). Note if you didnt select to install for all users it will instead be in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ Go to C:\Users\$USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Opera Software\ and copy dir "Opera GX Stable" to thumb drive. (or mounted drive) Go back to linux machine and recreate these dirs, i.e. copying them in the same place but on your wine virtual drive (located in ~/.wine/drive_c/) Finally go in terminal and go all the way to the Opera GX dir in program files. Type wine launcher.exe --no-gpu It runs, but without hardware gpu acceleration. But works fine otherwise Note. Wine 5.x.x works but it sometimes crashes. 6.x.x - the staging or "bleeding edge" version works much better. But some distros cant run 6 so. And as said at top most repos like debian 10 ubuntu 18 and below have 4.x.x or even older versions in their repos that are stable, but lack the libraries needed to run chromium based browsers like opera and its derivatives. Arch linux or gentoo linux will have the latest so you could use their repos (for other experimentation, chromium 78/chrome78/browsers based on this or older, will indeed work on wine 4.x.x) Lastly, I'm a chromium dev (could you tell by profile pic lol), so I'm here to help with chromium and browsers built on it. This is my first reddit post, as I was always a reader not a poster, but this was important enough to me to get it out there for people searching "opera gx on linux" like i've been doing the past 6 months with people saying "it doesn't work on wine" No.....you just didn't try hard enough lol!! EDIT: Days from being a year later, I just wanted to say thanks for all the upvotes and awards, this was my first reddit post and it made me feel welcome and its nice that this has helped people use opera gx on linux. ALSO: Latest Wine has new major version, and you should be using that.

For me, the Opera browser has always been present on my computer. I've been using it since version 5 (Opera 5). It was still running Windows Me. One of the reasons why i use a distro or not is the native support of Opera and Vibaldi.
