The latest buzz from Google seems to be that the search engine giant is working on a lightweight operating system (OS) called Fuchsia. For those who do not know, the Android OS running on many smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S7, Google Nexus 6p, and the HTC 10 is made by Google, and so is the Chrome OS that runs on Chromebooks.
It should also be known that all the operating systems made by Google use the Linux kernel. Linux is also available as open-source operating system, which is an alternative to Microsoft’s Windows and the macOS. This kernel has been powering most of the Google hardware like smartphones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, and internet of things (IoT) devices like Google OnHub router and Google Home. However, Linux has traditionally been a full-blown desktop kernel. Therefore, making it unsuitable for embedded systems like car dashboards or GPS units that could typically benefit by using a lightweight operating system. Using the traditional Linux kernel on such systems that need lesser computing power can severely impact performance.
