Can I suggest you start a thread which described all the problems you
are having, the hardware you have, the software you have installed,
including versions of applicable software.

Also check if you are using the latest versions of everything (Flash
have a 64bit Linux client these days, which is probably the software to
use even if it is a "preview" release).

Please get technical, problems "just playing videos" is not a useful
problem descriptions, which type(s) of videos (a lot are flash these
days), is it reproducible, can you link to a video that always produces
a problem. Is that problem something crashing, going slow, no sound,
picture looks wrong? Similarly "problems with skype" is not useful for
diagnosing what the issue is, similar comments apply.

Probably someone can help, or at least describe a similar hardware
set-up that doesn't have these issues. Although I fear being a 64bit
user outside of Windows does mean Flash support is rocky, could be worse
you could have bought an iPhone :)
