True for me - I am a plain old desktop user with no smartphone and do not want to change my bank.
I know enough to use a Flash-block plug-in and can choose which sites I trust (such as my bank). I have no idea whether plug-ins can be pre-installed at install time, but if that is possible then that is the route I would choose.
However ....
It is my guess that most Linux users have at least that level of awareness, but in truth I have no idea and apart from better education I can't see how to help non-technical users from becoming victims of these vulnerabilities.
All of the friends that I have helped with their computers are Windows users and all of them were using accounts with admin privilege for their everyday work. I have spent most of my time with them teaching them a little bit about basic security. Most of them have no idea what Flash does.

On windows, Flash is still a seperate download which must be installed ( https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect ) I think the sane default for openSUSE is to *not* install Flash by default We can still have it in the non-oss repo for people who need it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
