Google is working on a new OS – Fuchsia. This operating system could probably replace the other OSes like Chrome OS or Android. This Google OS can lead to the new future of operating system.

New Google OS: Fuchsia for embedded devices

Chrome OS, Android, and Chromecasts; what is the common between them? Yup, they’re developed by Google. And this means they are based on Linux kernel. Although used for many years, Linux kernel is not good for all situations. It still causes some problems, especially in the embedded devices. Car dashboard and  GPS units are some examples. And now, Google is working to improve that. The company is planning to release a new Google OS – Fuchsia.

Pink + Purple == Fuchsia, this is a new Google OS. This OS won’t based on Linux kernel. Instead of that, it will use Magenta kernel. It is designed to work on embedded devices like smartphones or even CPU. Magenta has some features such as capability-based security model, user modes. It also supports for ARM CPUs and 64-bit Intel-based PCs. Magenta will be the tough rival to some embedded OSes like ThreadX or FreeRTOS.

So, with the new OS, is Google planning something in the near future? Well, it is reported that this US company is about to replace some of their products by this Fuchsia. Chrome OS and Android could probably be replaced. Moreover, this new Google OS will be used in some embedded harwares like Google Home or OnHub.

Google OS: new future for operating system

In the near future, we’re gonna see the advance technology in the operating system. There is no clear that Fuchsia will be used for what. However, there is one thing we can make sure. This new Google OS will change the world. Looking back at 1960s when OS/360 was launch or Linux in the 1990s was introduced, you’ll see. Hopefully, this Fuchsia will do the same things as its two predecessors.
