So, ruario made an announcement on LinuxQuestions today:
Anyone following my tweets over the last couple of days would probably have guessed this already but in case you missed it, we released a development version of our Blink-based Opera for Linux.
It is very early days so this initial version is provided as a 64-Bit Deb and the UI only looks (semi) correct when running under Unity but ... it is a start. If anyone desperately wants to try it and can't wait for more packages to start to appear, my personal notes ( https://gist.github.com/ruario/99522c94838d0680633c )will get you an install, which you should be able to cleanly remove later, should you need to. The notes are unsupported and usage of them is entirely at your own risk.
P.S. I'll probably make a SlackBuild when I get a spare moment. The Arch guys already have a PKGBUILD.
So it seems we'll have a Linux version when Opera 24 gets released.
Been waiting for it for a while as i was sort of a fan, but got used to not using it in the previous year and a half. + Qupzilla is out now, and it's quite promising + it plays nicely with KDE, visual aspect wise.
Your thoughts on the new Opera browser?
