Why is Flash so slow? (Ubuntu)

[bralmu]

It works fine on Windows but on Ubuntu your player requires like +500% CPU.

This is ridiculous, I can play Wow or Half-Life 2 perfectly but I have problems  watching Youtube videos.

To watch in fullscreen I have to use Compiz desktop zoom to save cpu.

To watch high quality flash videos I have to download them and play them with VLC or any  player but Adobe Flash Player.

Is Adobe working on this problem? Any solution? where? when?

Ubuntu 9.04

2x512MB

AMD64 3500+

GF6600GT

Firefox with Adobe Flash Player plugin

I'm having trouble with flash player in Ubuntu Linux too.  Looks like we're being treated like second-class citizens compared to Windows users!!

Dear Adobe, by not answering these questions and continuously ignoring the comfortability of linux users, you loose your most expensive community - linux users

From the top 10,000 programmers in the world, be sure that a HUGE amount of them use linux. Less flash applications created by them, more HTML5 applications created by them.

Personally, for me, flash is the last choice to program something (it made the bad impression already, for too long, no fix possible) but still many webpages in the world use Flash for small games, etc... And that works for me like a shit.

Try a week with your flash on ubuntu, like me, adobe. You won't be surprised.

Have you tried our Flash Player 11 RC build on labs out?  If not, please give it a try and let us know what you think.  If you find specific issues, please feel free to document them as new bugs over at bugbase.aodbe.com.

Thanks,

I am having problems with flash plugin 11.2.202.285 on Xubuntu 13.04 using Firefox 21. The video quality is all garbage. I already checked that the flash videos play well in html5 mode but not otherwise. Any possible solution?

The following question has been unaddressed by Adobe.com for more than three weeks:

There are obvious problems with this plugin as Firefox also complains about the vulnerability of this plugin. As a result, I am unable to use it. This complaint should be officially treated as a bug accordingly.

Wow, someone at Adobe should get fired for not responding to any of this in such a long time. Looks like they are paying people to literally do nothing.  Someone should send a link of this to the CEO.
