Linux is the most widely used kernel in the world, but this could change with the arrival of a new Google operating system to succeed Android, the peculiarity is that the new system, called Fuchsia, will not use the Linux kernel.
Google works on making Fuchsia compatible with applications developed for Android
For now, Fuchsia is still an experiment by Google, which has been in this state for several years and features are being added. Fuchsia is being developed as an operating system capable of perfectly adapting to a multitude of devices, so it is expected to be better optimized than Android. What is striking about Fuchsia is that it is based on a kernel created by Google, so it leaves Linux aside.
The latest Fuchsia update points to the advent of compatibility with Android applications, this is essential if Google wants to one day replace its current operating system, as it would not make sense to leave aside the entire ecosystem that has been created around Android. Switching to a more optimized operating system that supports the entire Android ecosystem could be a good move for Google, as it would be transparent to the user, and could mean an end to the famous performance problems of Android on modest hardware.
Of course, it can also happen that it ends up as something merely experimental and never reaches a final version, for now, it’s all conjecture and assumptions about this new operating system. Would you like to see this new system replace Android one day?
