I am using Opera for the first time. I want to create multiple profiles (for home / work). I see some instructions for how to do this, but they are all for Windows and all quite old.

Is there an easy way to do it these days? I am using Ubuntu 20.04.

You can create multiple entry for opera client by using this command

opera --user-data-dir=~/"your new user directory"

for simplicity you can save alias to ~/.bashrc.

alias op1="opera --user-data-dir=~/opera/user1"
alias op2="opera --user-data-dir=~/opera/user2"

or you can create new .desktop file check my answer.

You have your profile in "~/.config/opera"

Create new profile by duplicating it - "~/.config/opera2"

And launch opera like this

instance1 - "opera --profile-directory ~/.config/opera2"

instance2 - "opera --profile-directory ~/.config/opera"
