Adobe Flash is ending

Can Big Sur run without Adobe flash?

Adobe is dropping the Flash player on 12/31. Should the last update be uploaded?

After upgrading to Ventura successfully, my version still shows Monterey 12.6.2 I went through the entire upgrade process to Ventura. There were no error messages and it eventually rebooted and is working. But the version number still read Monterey. Is this just a bug in the Mac About page or did I not upgrade? Btw, I only upgraded the OS and not Safari. Does Apple force you to upgrade Safari too?

Downloading MacOS Ventura for a 2nd time. I am trying to download MacOS Ventura in my iMacBook Air 2020, but when I download it, it doesn't "apply the changes" and, when I open settings, it asks me to download it again, just as if I didn't download anything.

GTK3 GUI support in macOS 13.x Ventura? Apple has a few things to fix in macOS 13.x Ventura. At the moment it is up to v13.0.1. I'm avoiding Ventura due to 'Version 1.0 Syndrome.' Does anyone know if Apple is working to fix Ventura's incompatibility problem with the GTK3 GUI system, as found in Inkscape? Quoting from the Inkscape open source project: "There is an unresolved issue that affects all GTK3 based apps on macOS Ventura, making the app unresponsive to certain mouse events."

So that popup with the Flash insignia saying to update is probably just a come on? I did notice that once Big Sur was loaded, two videos were out of sync - picture to music or voice. Meanwhile, it's probably good to get rid of what I do have, correct?

Thank you very much

There's no need for Flash.
