[SOLVED] Flash Player: Adobe or Alternative?

[kwanbis]

I just successfully installed fedora 12.

I noticed there is an oficial adobe flash player, and an alternative ones (nash and swfdec).

Is the adobe one the recommended, as in most stable, no CPU utilization problems?

Or should i go with one of the open source alternatives?

Thanks!

PS: i would be using mostly Firefox, with Chrome from time to time.

Unfortunately, in my experience the open source alternatives are not a good drop in replacement for the non-free adobe flashplayer. I have never found them to work consistently or well.

Unfortunately, too, adobe's flashplayer on linux (scratch that, on any platform) is a piece of doo. Long history of security problems, high CPU utilization, frequent crashes, etc. But if you want flash video, it's the only game in town.

I'll second pretty much everything reed9 said and always use adobe flash player for that reason.
