Linux operating systems are steadily becoming more acceptable as PC ubiquity increases and Windows shoves AI into its operating system. Still, making the switch can be an uncomfortable jump for many. Opera wants to make the leap easier. It announced today that its Opera GX browser, used by around 25 million people across Windows and macOS, is available for Linux now.
This version comes with the same features: RAM limiters, personalization features, ad block and tracker blocking, and a VPN, and more.
Opera points out that GX uses European privacy standards, so it won't collect location data, browsing history, page content, searches, or what you type into forms.
Opera GX has accounted for various versions of Linux, supporting Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE, with Flatpak in development. It also can be installed using .deb and .rpm packages.
The team will be updating the browser weekly based on community requests and needs of the Linux community.
