Linux systems have their own software problems.
I bought a Linux laptop about 6 months ago. I finally got some Youtube videos to play, but websites that required me to log in with my cable company ID just will not work. FoxSportsGo, ESPN-Go, the cable company’s TV stream, etc. It seems that the problem is with DRM [Digital Rights Management]. The loading icon just spins, but never loads the video.
Sometimes the browser will error out and say I need to install the latest Flash. The computer info says I already have the latest Flash. I have tried this with numerous browsers: SeaMonkey, Firefox, Firefox ESR, Cromium, Chrome, Konqueror, Opera.
Thus, I have to revert to the Windows 7 laptop or desktop or to the android tablet for such video streaming. That negates the purpose of going all Linux.
Flash is buggy on every platform, and why it is fading.
Been on one flavor or another of Linux for 15 years, help is just a quick search away.
I did lose Firefox the other night after a major system upgrade, got it fixed in a couple hours using a disc version of Linux to find the solution, badabing-badaboom, back in business with no need to speak to India or Paki help desks.
Windoze is still around for all those AOL types.
