After 5 years of development, Google quietly pushes the official version of Fuchsia OS: no longer based on Linux

Five years after its launch, Google's self-developed Fuchsia OS operating system has finally landed.

Google has confirmed that starting today, users of the first-generation Nest Hub smart display will receive system update reminders. After the upgrade, the system will migrate from the previous Linux-based Cast OS to Fuchsia OS.

However, under the new system, the functions and interface experience of Nest Hub are the same as before. This is mainly due to the fact that Nest Hub was previously developed based on Flutter, which also supports Fuchsia OS.

Of course, just as the early interface of Hongmeng is almost the same as EMUI, with the continuous iterations in the future, Fuchsia OS will have more and more independent, personalized UI, interaction logic, etc. Google has taken a firm step to abandon Linux.

According to the information, Fuchsia OS is an operating system developed by Google based on the Zircon microkernel (not Linux). The kernel is written in C language and supports both arm64 and x86-64 processor architectures. It can be used in mobile phones, computers, smart watches, car entertainment systems and other embedded devices.
