Does Opera GX work well on Linux?

Yeah, launches fine on Nobara, Pop!_OS. Resource controls function, but glitches like ad stats.

Is Opera GX good for Linux gaming?

Marginal. Caps tabs during Proton games, but no edge over stock browsers.

GX Control (limits), GX Cleaner, Mods/themes, sidebar apps. Privacy defaults suck—fix manually.

Sliders for RAM. Synthwave themes. Opera GX hits Linux, chasing sticker-laptop warriors. But does it game-change, or just gimmick?
