Well, where is the build for Linux?

What you have not asked before, here it is: Opera for Linux .
Yes, that's right - today we are releasing the first build of the new Opera for Linux on the Developer channel.

In order to make the first version more stable and run it as soon as possible, we specifically focused on one platform - this is 64-bit Ubuntu Linux with Unity shells or Gnome Shell. Therefore, the assembly that we show today only works in this environment. As the development stabilizes, we will consider support for other platforms.

As you understand, this is the Developer channel, so we should expect an appropriate level of stability from this build. Despite this, many of us have used this build for a long time as the main browser and it seems quite stable. So bold, try and write to us if something breaks.

Many people ask why the release of this version was so delayed. In fact, a little less than a year has passed since the launch of the new Opera on Chromium for Windows and Mac. Mostly, we waited for Aura for Linux to be released. It took us a whole lot of time to embed Aura into an already working version of Opera for Windows and we didn’t want to go through it again on Linux. In addition to the obvious advantages, Aura allows us to use more common code between platforms.

We have long promised to release a version for Linux and with great pleasure we present it publicly, for many of us in Opera, Linux is the main platform and we are glad that we can again use the latest version of Opera.

The ideas behind Linux are close to the mission of our company. We want everyone to have safe and convenient access to the Internet and Linux is good at it: it remains a productive and secure platform even on old hardware. Not every family, school or office can afford a powerful laptop for 70,000 rubles, but this should not prevent them from using our excellent browser with Turbo, Recommendations, Moneybox and Express Panel. And now, with the release of the Linux version, everything is fine again.

We hope you enjoy it.

ps: For the most stubborn, there is a manual for installing Opera from the contents of the Debian package.
