Different times though. In those days, Linux was seen as an hacker OS and the likes of Ubuntu were niche and nerdy. Those who use Linux today if lived in that time, I'd wager a large majority would of been running Windows. Windows x64 wasn't even a thing in mainstream. Flash was in Adobe hands and when the Linux plugin arrived, Adobe could of pushed development. Patched the exploits, however it felt like days after the purchase they had started nailing the coffin shut. It wasn't until Linux threatened the Windows OS later on that development for Linux really took off and corporations took Linux more seriously; long after Flash's coffin was nailed tightly shut. "Flash didn't work on Linux" was because Linux wasn't a usable desktop unlike to what it is now. When Flash was a thing, you still needed to configure X, lucky to have sound, and even then required configuring your screen, mouse and keyboard manually. I'm, not sure that NVIDIA linux drivers were even a thing then. I would be starting to worry because with the recent antics with Microsoft and Windows 11, they don't want you to install any other OS. They want you to use WSL and that, I wouldn't trust with a toothpick. How long until you require a "WSL license"? Firefox is tearing at the seams and soon we will see the web dominated with chrome only websites. Heck, it's already happening.
