My opinion is the same as yours, plus recently I've installed some Flash games becasue I'm nostalgic, one way to do it and play games in deck mode is this link [1], but you can also just run "flashplayer.exe --some-options game.swf" with Proton and it'll work too. I love good flash games like Sonny 2 and I know Flash has security issues and had to be killed, but I'll never let it go, I'll always have to run it somewhere for retrogaming.

- passwd 4y agoNote, in AUR there's a Flash Player standalone package - flashplayer-standalone I believe. You can use it very similarly, just without a need for proton.
- becquerel 4y agoJust so you know, there's a Linux-native Flash emulator named Ruffle you might want to try. It's worked pretty well with the things I've tried so far, and it's one less layer of emulation. https://ruffle.rs/#downloads https://ruffle.rs/#downloads
- mjevans 4y agoRuffle is legit, but there are some later era flash games that don't play because they claim to / actually use later versions of the Adobe 'action script'; I'm hopeful that they'll eventually be supported and the archived versions of flashplayer (standalone) will not be necessary for anyone.
- andrepd 4y agoFlashpoint is a preservation project for Flash games (and many more: Java, Silverlight, etc). It's honestly mind-blowing: https://unstable.life/flashpoint-database/search/ https://unstable.life/flashpoint-database/search/
