Google Plans to Launch New Operating System Fuchsia at GitHub

Google is planning to launch a whole new operating system, named Fuchsia, and the open source task can currently seen on Google Git and also on GitHub. The description on GitHub for Fuchsia reads: Pink + Purple = Fuchsia (another Operating System), and that is it. In this way, no additional data is available on the fledgling OS. In any case, there have been numerous speculations about the OS's capacities and purpose.

Another part of the OS that has captivated numerous observers is the kernel of the OS. Not at all like Android or the Chrome OS, which are Linux based, Fuchsia is based on the Magenta kernel– a "medium-sized microkernel" that itself depends on project called LittleKernel, as per The Verge. LittleKernel is mostly used in embedded systems and is described as "a SMP-aware kernel designed for small systems," on its GitHub page. In addition, Google illustrates Magenta as a kernel for "modern phones and personal computers with quick processors, non-trivial measures of RAM with arbitrary peripherals doing open ended computation."

It is additionally intriguing to note that Google has been trying Fuchsia on a wide range of devices including 32-bit and 64-bit ARM processors and even 64-bit PCs. The signs lead to numerous conceivable outcomes like a single "unified" OS for IoT, PCs, smartphones and embedded gadgets, or it could be a substitute for Android and Chrome. Starting now, these are only two deductions from innumerable potential outcomes that are making the rounds in web discussions. Since it is Google, it's ideal to get ready for the surprising as opposed to giving into paltry assumptions.
