The audio is always a few seconds delayed so watching videos or playing games, assuming they work in the first place, is always a terrible experience. The latest Flash version available for Gnu/Linux users is 7.0, and apparently 8.0 is never coming. It is just skipping to the next version, but only after Windows and Mac OS X get theirs first. And if/when it does come out for Gnu/Linux, I have no idea if the experience will be any better.</p> <p>So thanks for posting that tip. I've gone to a number of websites that turn out to be nothing but a black background because it has features that my version of Flash doesn't provide. No error message pops up or anything. So I just leave the site. It's rarely been worthwhile for me to boot up a Windows machine just to go to a website that uses Flash.</p> I use Gnu/Linux as my main operating system, and Flash support is terrible.

So thanks for posting that tip. I’ve gone to a number of websites that turn out to be nothing but a black background because it has features that my version of Flash doesn’t provide. No error message pops up or anything. So I just leave the site. It’s rarely been worthwhile for me to boot up a Windows machine just to go to a website that uses Flash.
