"I have never felt more locked down on an OS."
you can install adobe flash or just about anything else
we just have a policy of not recommending non-free software on this forum
and btw i highly recommend against installing adobe flash if you care about
your freedom and or privacy
also gnash is not the only way of viewing some online videos there are quite
a few better ways
see this wiki page:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/internet-video
this video explains the method i use for viewing video online using only free
software
and if on the rare occasion you cant get video even using that method most of
the time the program youtube-dl-gui
will work you can find info on it here:

if you have any more problems with this feel free to post a reply!
