    it just going to mean no more flash on anything but chrome. yea linux has kinda stalled in recent years but if you have been around around the same amount of time i have you know linux has been threw this before. the problem is everyone has there own idea and the segmenting gets out of hand. Ubuntu started bringing everyone one to one standard and was quickly gaining steam really the case with microsofts stumble with vista. but then they decide to lose there minds then desktop linux fell right back into not going anywhere,
