Just do it. It will be better for everyone.

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,
