Oh, have a heart.  :-)

Ubuntu is a great choice for unsophisticated users, ranging from 
computer scientists to grandmothers [1], who need to sacrifice software 
freedom to get ease of use and integration with proprietary software. 
For example, Ubuntu Software Center should give the questioner the 
functionality they seek:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser

"The best and easiest way to install Opera is by just downloading the 
deb-package from Opera's website. When you install the package, it will 
add their repository, automatically configured for updates. When you 
have downloaded the file, you can install it by double clicking on the 
file to open Ubuntu software center."

Please consider recommending allied Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 
before proprietary operating systems.

[1] Actual case. Thinks she is using Windows because she has 
LibreOffice. Certainly not representative of all grandmothers.

Kind regards,
