Pretty much the same story here. I tried skype, but even their so called 64 bit downloads are all 32 bit. Mint debian edition 10 does flash just fine. Be sure to change the sources.list to stable before you update packages from testing. Debian edition was released shortly before the next release came out. (it was noted it is for more advanced users anyhow)
