It's best to put it in either History or Features.

With this version, I tried it out and for the first time EVER, I was able to play my Opera games and so far I have had no mouse freezeups/scrolling issues.
If this one stays this stable for me in Mint 9, I just may keep it forever.
Woot! Great great job Opera.

Crazy fast is crazy fast, I'd just like to know what ultra text parsing speeds are good for?

I have always seen Opera as big supporter of Linux operating system. But unfortunately the company latest focus and effort of development is only looking at operating system market share.
Now Linux is a 3rd class citizen, even the Mac Users this time was favored with a stable version compared to Linux. This is why i don't believe in the path that Opera is taking on Linux.
Also the Linux version was always much inferior to its windows counterpart. The GTK+ integration is pour, and Opera doesn't considerer that in fact the leading desktop Linux distro is in fact a GTK+ based distro (Ubuntu of course). I won't also talk about the font rendering of Opera in Linux, which is also below Windows, and other alternatives in the Linux environment.
I think that in version 10.5 Opera opened an unfortunate precedent in favoring Windows and then Mac, leaving Linux off the stable, when i don't remember that happening in the recent years .
It's a shame, but i really don't believe too much in the quality of future versions of Opera for Linux.
Here's what we (Linux Users) want:
- Deep integration with our desktop environment. (I don't want to see a dialog box or elements that are artificial, or icons that do not use the GTK theme we choosed for gnome, xfce, etc...)
- A rendering speed as good as windows.
- Better font rendering, Firefox and even chrome, evolved much more in that department than opera.
- A common development cycle with windows that leads to improved stability.
If all of the points i have listed are not taken in to account, i really won't believe in the viability of Opera for other OS than Windows (or maybe Mac). This is my 2 cents, since people here only like to praise, not tell the truth and what they think.

I hope that in the end, all will be fixed

That's because the Mac rewrite was TINY compared to Linux.
Never mind the fact that Linux is fragmented as hell.
Opera doesn't have GTK integration. That's what's changing with 10.60. Pay attention already.
No, you drunken moron. Linux takes longer because there's more work to do there.

The alpha crashes a bit too much for me (I'm a webdeveloper and absolutely gotta have it working for what I do, plus it's my primary browser) at the moment but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a beta release so I can get you some more feedback once it's stable enough for me to test more extensively.
(BTW loved the potato video with the totally-not-related-to-anything jet engine in the bg)

Have you upgraded to Opera 10.53 yet?
- Yes
- No
- I plan to do it in the near future
- No, my current version is fine
They forgot one more option:
- No, I use Linux

Odd. *nix devs got GTK running before they had a working Qt implementation. GTK was easier because it didn't conflict with the old direct-Qt calls from before Opera yanked its UI framework. The problem with certain distros is that Opera can't always find a user's relevant config documents. Their detection rates are improving howerver; and soon Opera should look "native" on most distros right-out-of-the-box.
