Om There is a big road btw Air 2.6 and Air 4.0 . And this don't means adobe is supporting linux it means apache flex is still supporting linux.
The article never said that they are not supporting pepper, they are definitely doing it. But pepper plugin only supports chrome, is true that Mozilla don't have any intention to work in pepper (shame Mozilla) , the last version you can get working except chrome is 11.2 (which I am ok for now) regards -----Original Message----- From: omup...@gmail.com [mailto:omup...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of OmPrakash Muppirala Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2014 1:38 PM To: users@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: Ahhh Adobe...

FTA, Adobe has worked with Google to support Pepper Plugin API which brings Flash Player to Linux [1] As for AIR, Apache Flex 4.12 still supports AIR 2.6. So, there is nothing preventing anyone from building AIR apps for Linux today.
