I have relatives on Linux and this will complicate things for me. Basically I have to install Chrome and explain why videos and other stuff work only on Chrome. However, it is the way I prefer it by now anyway: use a Firefox without Flash for daily browsing and Chrome for Flash things.

Don't underestimate how complicated it might be to explain this to "noobs", though.

Starting 5 years from now, when Adobe actually drops support for Flash on Linux, right?

We'll see how much video and other stuff still requires Flash in 5 years. With any luck, not much.

Missed the timeline. In five years, Flash should be gone for good.
