+Why No Flash Support for Linux Is Good for Open Source
+================================================================================
+> The upcoming end of support for Adobe Flash in the open source Chromium browser for Linux is actually a good thing for the Linux world.
+

+
+Flash, the ubiquitous media framework for the Web, soon will no longer work for Linux users of the [Chromium][1] browser, the open source version of [Google Chrome][2]. Is it time for the Linux world to panic? Not at all.
+
+Here's what's happening: Soon, the means by which Flash support was traditionally implemented in Chromium, via a plugin originally designed for Netscape, will [no longer work][3]. Instead, Flash support will come in the form of a new API called Pepper, which Google has created for Chrome.
+
+For Linux users, the problem is that Pepper is available only for Chrome, not its open source cousin, Chromium. And while it may be possible technically to make Pepper work in Chromium, doing so will require more know-how than the average Linux user possesses.
+
+That's bad news for the Linux world, where almost half of Linux users run Chromium, according to [one source][4]. And for other browsers, Flash support on Linux ended with Flash version 11.2, which still works well enough for now, but which may cease to be effective in the future. This is all to say that soon, neither Chromium, nor Firefox, nor any of their offshoots or open source betters likely will be able to display Flash-based content effectively.
+
+But so far, few people are actually panicking about this, as indeed they shouldn't. In many ways, vanishing Flash support for Linux is actually a good thing, because it will only help to hasten the disappearance of Flash altogether. After all, as Jim Lynch [noted][5] over at IT World, Apple iOS has never had Flash support, and that hasn't dampened the massive popularity of iPads or iPhones. This is particularly true as technologies such as HTML5 are making Flash unnecessary for delivering Web content.
+
+This is a case, then, in which denying support for a particular software package to the Linux community actually will benefit the community—and the IT world more generally—in the long run. That rarely happens, but when it comes to Flash, disappearing support for Linux can only prove to be a good thing.

+Add Windows Like Bottom Taskbar In Ubuntu Unity 14.04
+================================================================================
+![](http://itsfoss.itsfoss.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Windows_Taskbar_ubuntu.jpeg)
+
+Some new users switching to Ubuntu from Windows may find the default Unity interface a little overwhelming. Most of the Windows users as well as some non-Gnome 3, non-Unity Linux users might miss the bottom taskbar in Ubuntu. We all know that [drag and drop in Unity][1] is not very user friendly feature.
+
+Whatever may be your reason, if you want a bottom panel in Ubuntu, [tint2][2] is your man.
+
+### Add bottom taskbar in Ubuntu 14.04 ###
+
+Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following command:
+
+    sudo apt-get install tint2
+
+This will install tint2. You can run it by typing tint2 in terminal but that’s not how we are going to use it. That won’t serve the purpose at all. What we need to do here is to add tint2 as a start up program. Which means each time you boot in to Ubuntu, you’ll find the taskbar at the bottom of the desktop.
+
+#### How to run tint2 at start up ####
+
+Open Unity Dash (press Windows key) and search for Startup Applications.
+
+![](http://itsfoss.itsfoss.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Startup_Applications_Ubuntu.jpeg)
+
+Open **Startup Applications**. In there click on **Add** to add a new program to start up. You can name it something meaningful, in command type **tint2** and click **Add**. **Close** it to save it. The picture below should be helpful:
+
+![](http://itsfoss.itsfoss.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Windows_Like_Taskbar_Ubuntu.jpeg)
+
+That’s it. Logout and login back and you will find the taskbar at the bottom, as shown in the first most picture. Like [Conky][3], tint2 can be configured great deal but for that you’ll have to edit the configuration files. But even if you leave it as it is, it just works. Have you tried it already? How is/was your experience with tint2?
