    Adobe officially abandons Flash on Linux

    Reply Quote

    Brace yourselves, the end of flash is near..

    Phoronix:

    Adobe has issued a statement this morning that they will effectively be abandoning Flash Player support on Linux. After Flash Player 11.2 they will no longer be providing updates for Linux users but just maintaining the 11.2 release. Google is expected to take over with a Flash Player implementation based upon a new API, but only for Google Chrome-based web-browsers.

    First mobile and now Linux. They're taking steps backwards. What's next? OSX?
    Reasons to get Windows 7:
    Snap to maximize windows
    Formatting huge hard drives
    It's Vista but better

    The ASUS M4A78-E sucks, don't get it.

    I wonder if it has anything to do with Chrome being hacked through Flash to ruin a 4 year running spotless record... Hmm

    the fact they are quitting does not bother me it is when they say after 11.2, but they refuse to fix a bug in 11.2 beta saying they don't support linux any more

    the bug is still present in 11.2 rc1 was reported during beta 4 or 5

    That's very typical...

    When ATI dropped support for their older graphics cards after Catalyst 7.3 under both Windows and Linux, there were plenty of "known issues" with the drivers that were never fixed for the old hardware.  It sucks, and that's the major problem with proprietary software such as Catalyst drivers or Adobe Flash.

    why?  is one question.  So, all those linux servers running the internet sites will be obsolete because of no upgraded flash?  Will silverlight takes its place or someother code?
