- cakesy 17y agoLinus won't let Adobe make a decent Flash plugin for Linux. Linus restricts APIs that the plugin needs to run well--things like access to hardware video acceleration.
- cloudwalking 17y agoI don't think Adobe cares much about people on Linux. There isn't much market there.

But it’s up to Apple to expose the appropriate hooks to allow Adobe to (eventually) enable that functionality. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3678&p=5 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3678&p=5 See this Adobe PDF for an explanation about Linux: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.pdf http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenote...
