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.

为什么Flash不支持Linux对开源比较好
================================================================================
> Linux中开源软件Chromium浏览器对Adobe Flash的支持即将结束，这实际上对Linux世界是件好事。
![](http://thevarguy.com/site-files/thevarguy.com/files/imagecache/medium_img/uploads/2014/05/noflash.png)
Flash，无处不在的网络媒体框架，很快将不能在linux的[Chromium][1]浏览器中使用,Chromium是开源版的[Google Chrome][2]浏览器。现在我们要为Linux世界恐慌了吗？答案是根本不用。
事情是这样的：Chromium对Flash支持的传统方法是通过使用最初设计用于Netscape浏览器的一个插件实现，很快，这个方法将[不能用][3]。Flash支持将使用新的叫做Pepper的API，这是Google为Chrome而制作的。
对于Linux用户，问题是Pepper只能用于Chrome，而不能用于其表兄弟Chromium。虽然在技术上可以使Pepper在Chromium上使用，但做到它需要你比一般Linux用户拥有更多的知识。
这对Linux世界来说是个坏消息，根据[该网站][4]可知，有近一半的Linux用户在使用Chromium。在Linux上对于其他的浏览器，Flash的支持以Flash 11.2版本结束，现在它仍然能够良好工作，但是将来可能不能够使用。这是说，不久，不论Chromium还是Firefox或者其他与他们相关的软件，可能将来还能够有效地显示基于Flash的内容。
但到目前为止，很少有人对此事感到恐慌，事实上他们确实不应该。从很多方面来说，Flash对Linux不再支持实际上是件好事，因为这将有助于加速Flash的完全消失。毕竟，就像Jim Lynch在IT World上[写的][5],苹果iOS从没有过Flash支持，但这并没有阻碍iPads或iPhones变得的极为流行。尤其是一些技术如HTML5使得在提供网络内容时不必使用Flash。
拒绝一个特定的软件包实际上对于Linux社区来说将很有利——有利于IT世界变得更普遍——从长远来看。这种情况很少见，但当发生在Flash上时，对Linux变得不支持的确是件好事。
