>From https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html : "Linux Adobe has been working closely with Google to develop a single, modern API for hosting plug-ins within the browser. The PPAPI, code-named "Pepper", aims to provide a layer between the plug-in and browser that abstracts away differences between browser and operating system implementations. You can find more information on the Pepper API at http://code.google.com/p/ppapi/. Because of this work, Adobe has been able to partner with Google in providing a "Pepper" implementation of Flash Player for all x86/64 platforms supported by the Google Chrome browser. Google now distributes this new Pepper-based Flash Player as part of Chrome on all platforms, including Linux. For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plug-in for Linux will only be available via the "Pepper" API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release. Flash Player will continue to support browsers using non-"Pepper" plug-in APIs on platforms other than Linux. Adobe will not be providing a Pepper-based debug player implementation of the Flash Player browser plug-in on Linux. As of Adobe AIR 3, Adobe has discontinued support for Adobe AIR for Linux operating systems."
