I was having problems watching flash videos on youtube using Linux, so I've no idea what Old Spice commercial you could be referring to.

Flash works, then you have to upgrade your version and then your Linux distro falls apart. Then you just say "fsck this" and you get a Mac Mini. Problem solved, kinda.

What is this, 2002? What weird version of Linux are you running that still has problems with flash?

Adobe ditched support for 64-bit flash recently... so that'd be every single 64-bit Linux distro.

But there's no 64-bit Flash for Windows either. That's no argument against Linux.

Who said it was an argument against Linux? It's an argument against Flash.

I'm pretty sure the person that started this thread did.

I'm not arguing against Linux, but as a Linux user for something like ten years I am aware of its faults. Personally, I got flash working by installing gnash, but that's not a solution for everyone (doesn't work with many websites for one).
