[mdlug] Adobe abandons Linux !?!

[Michael S. Mikowski]

I think it is more likely that Adobe is abandoning Flash than anything.  I have had 0 
problems with Flash or Air even though the last official release for Linux was ~2 years ago.  
Why not?  Because it is a dying technology, and I haven't seen anyone require versions of 
either.  Developers are migrating Flash applications to webSVG apps; and very few new 
projects select Flash as a technology.

So I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Adobe does support Linux in at least one new 
technology - see Brackets (http://brackets.io/[1] ).  And there are probably other areas as 
well.

Cheers!
