Linux users can now install Opera GX, a gaming-focused spin off of the regular Opera web browser which, the Norwegian-based company say, has amassed over 34 million monthly active users since its launch on Windows in 2019.
Opera GX is a Chromium-based web browser (as is the standard version of Opera, which has been available on Linux for decades). As such, you can expect the same degree of web performance, site compatibility and feature set.
So what makes Opera GX different? Its truckload of ‘extras’ – Hygge design philosophy it is not.
Opera GX has a striking cyberpunk-esque design that’s dark and heavy on neon coloured accents. It’s aimed at gamers with Discord and Twitch integration and a built-in gaming news hub and release calendar.
The Linux version of Open GX doesn’t support the browser’s popular live wallpapers or custom app icon sets, but support for these may appear in future updates.
