I was born in 1966 and a lot of people from my generation still own a television set, turntables etc.. Not seldom I watch several hours television at one day. I guess after watching 4 hours television, it's not hard to spare flash on the computer ;). Yes, you can miss interesting stuff without flash, but you also will miss interesting things, if you watch too much videos. In the past I used flash, I tested gnash first, but I preferred the proprietary thingy. It started as an experiment when I installed Arch Linux some weeks ago and I noticed that I can live without flash. However, I only need to run one command to get flash and on Linux AFAIK it doesn't cause issues until now. $ yaourt flashplayer 1 extra/flashplugin 11.2.202.275-1 Adobe Flash Player 2 aur/bin32-flashplayer-standalone 11.2.202.275-1 (5) Macromedia standalone flash player (nonfree) 3 aur/flashplayer-standalone 11.2.202.275-1 (134) Macromedia standalone flash player (nonfree) 4 aur/flashplayer-standalone-debug 11.2.202.275-1 (7) Standalone, debug version of Adobe Flash Player 5 aur/gnash-git 20120122-1 (Out of Date) (3) An open source flashplayer - git version ==> Enter n° of packages to be installed (ex: 1 2 3 or 1-3) ==> ------------------------------------------------------- ==> ^C I even don't know if I have flash on FreeBSD installed, since I more often use Linux.
