You can, say, install Ubuntu, then just add/remove programs to add Opera. Then just change the web browser setting to Opera in System --> Preferences --> Preferred Applications. You could even then uninstall Firefox if you liked. :D

of course, I know that already (considering I've been using Arch Linux since 2003), what I'm interested to know is that if there is any Linux distro that actually comes by default with Opera, my personal favorite browser. :D

or maybe I can start a new distro with Opera as the default browser :laugh:

You want to switch distro just for its default web browser? :blink:

Linux itself has proprietary blobs in the vanilla kernel. This actually makes the vanilla kernel non-free software. There are distros like gNewSense which remove the blobs and contain only free software in the distro (gNewSense is derived from Ubuntu).

nope, I won't switch distro, and my personal favorite distro (Arch Linux) doesn't even have a default web browser :laugh:

I'm just curious to know if there are any distro out there with Opera as the default browser ;)

    • I don't use Whatsapp, but with the way things are going, maybe i should drop Android . While Apple has got AI stuff, it can be turned off easily, and I can't see Apple allowing Google or any other app provider doing something like that. Maybe it is time to look at a Linux phone or go back to a non-smart phone.
    • A new and unreleased phone "could have" the biggest battery ever on an iPhone? Must be a slow day in the news.
    • Umm, no, I think I will give that a miss, like I am giving all this LLM rubbish a miss.
    • Yup, Smartphones are literally just another PC form-factor. Devices like the Surface Pro line are already 4-in-1 (Digitizer Drawing Board + Tablet + Laptop + Desktop). The real potential of these foldables would be achieved once they add the Smartphone form-factor to the mix, making them full-fledged 5-in-1 PCs...
