Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
I see, yeah I knew Flash was soon to be obsolete. Funny how many people still use it though. I personally try to avoid it, I was just curious in this situation. I'm new to libre/free ware world and the GNU/Linux world, I'm learning what I can by searching this forum, if I can't find the answer I ask. I gave Trisquel a try a couple years ago, but didn't really use it much until I recently updated it to 8.0, I like it after the update. My job is mostly hardware and troubleshooting/fixing issues on Windows Enterprise machines but I'm really starting to dislike Windows OS as I learn how a GNU/Linux OS works. Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer my questions, I'll be asking tougher ones soon hopefully. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
Thanks, I only use the add/remove programs app or sudo apt install at this point, I figured that was safest until I know more.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
Gotcha, that makes sense, thanks. So, excuse my ignorance, but what does GPL3 licensed mean? I've been just reading over the forum trying to pick up on things, but wasn't quite sure on that.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
Thanks, I'll try that, he's pretty good at communicating and working with people playing the game.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
Sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing.

> It's your Freedom Zero, any free/libre operating system should not stop you from running Adobe Flash, even if it's broken beyond repair. I haven't used Parabola for a few years, but I recall they had a proprietary software blacklist. It wasn't truly stopping anyone from running non-free software, more of a road block to using pacman to install it if I recall.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
It's like running a game in an emulator. (actually, it's exactly like that) The Emulator itself is libre, but the game more than likely isn't. Though I have messed around with compiling test ps1 programs. If you want to support libre games, if you find them, send them some coin. This NES game is GPL3 licensed: https://novasquirrel.itch.io/nova-the-squirrel
[Trisquel-users] Mate panel windows
Does anyone know how to make the Mate desktop panel stay the original size, but instead of stacking different windows on top of each other have each different window side-by-side? E.g if I have abrowser and control panel open at the same time one will be on top of the other and only the third opened window will go to the side, I wanted it to go to the side starting from the second open window. A solution I've found was to make the panel shorter (y axis) and it would force the new windows to the side, however I want to keep the original thickness of the panel. Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
I suppose unless you use it for reverse-engineering and figure out how that Actionscript worked. But yeah, the same has been said for Javascript.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
If you ask whether you are able to run Adobe Flash (or any other non-free software), the answer is "yes". It's your Freedom Zero, any free/libre operating system should not stop you from running Adobe Flash, even if it's broken beyond repair. Gnash is only compatible with very old Flash versions, so don't bother to try it. Here is a remainder: Flash will die in next year (Adobe will completely stop supporting it), and an important fact is that FSF no longer marks Gnash as a high-priority project. Finally, please say "GNU/Linux" if you refer to the operating system, rather than the kernel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
Anything installed through the Add/Remove Programs app or 'Sudo apt install' will be from Trisquel repositories and theres nothing to worry about.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash
Not just proprietary but also extremely insecure. Flash is probably responsible for more hacked systems than any other technology.
