Plucky Google Ditched Linux For Third Operating System!!

Some have speculated that Google’ s next step is to apparently built a new OS called Fuchsia, after Chrome OS and Android &ndash both built using Linux kernel, after the images and videos about the said OS has been released recently.

The main feature of Fuchsia OS is that it has a Vulkan-based graphics renderer called “ Escher” that lists “ volumetric soft shadows” which seems custom-built to run Google' s shadow-heavy " Material Design" interface guidelines. Fuchsia’ s interface and apps are written using Google’ s Flutter SDK, a project that actually produced cross platform code that runs on Android and iOS.

Google decided to develop Fuchsia OS with a new, Google-developed microkernel called Magenta. Magenta is designed to be lightweight, but it can scale up its capacity for more powerful systems. Google’ s Fuchsia page notes that the project is targeted at “ modern phones and modern personal computers” that have fast processors and lots of RAM.

Further it was stated that, “ Google will not only be dumping the Linux Kernel, but also the GPL (General Public License).” But Google hasn’ t made any public or official comments on why Fuchsia exists or what are it for.

Armadillo is said to be the official default system UI for Fuchsia, written in Flutter and can run on any platform which supports Flutter such as Android and iOS. Armadillo User Shell is a thin wrapper around Armadillo that obtains its data from the Fuchsia system and interacts with the Fuchsia system' s services via FIDL interfaces. Thus, Armadillo User Shell only runs on Fuchsia while Armadillo runs anywhere Flutter runs.
Models within Armadillo serve several purposes like performance, simplicity, coordination, and abstraction. " The home screen is a giant vertically scrolling list. In the center you' ll see a (placeholder) profile picture, the date, a city name, and a battery icon," reports ARS Technica, a global tech news hub.
