Opera GX, the gamer-focused web browser, has officially launched on Linux, supporting Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE-based systems—fulfilling the January announcement for a Q1 2026 release. Features like GX Control for limiting RAM/network usage and Hot Tabs Killer for resource-heavy tabs are now available.

Following Opera's January announcement of a native Linux version amid growing Linux gaming adoption (e.g., Steam market share above 3%), Opera GX has launched for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE-based distributions, as reported by Slashdot's BrianFagioli. Gamers benefit from GX Control to cap RAM and network usage, preventing overloads, and the Hot Tabs Killer, which auto-closes excessive resource tabs. The full suite, including sidebar tools, brings multitasking optimized for gaming to Linux. This expands Opera GX's cross-platform reach for resource-conscious browsing.
