Could Fushcia OS be the new OS on your smartphone?

Fuscia OS is an other operating system by google which could be an universal os for various devices ranging from a powerful computer to a smart bulb. The project fuscia, meaning a combination of pink which is a color-code for phone and purple the colour code for computer was a secrative project that commenced in 2016 by google. Few years people came to know about the project and is now at the first developer release.



Fuscia os isn't exactly an "Android killer" but plans to coexist with Android and Linux apps, which can even run android and linux based apps on the platform. What is the need for an other OS when you already a well running OS'? you may ask. Its because google wants an universal operating system platform for a wide variety of Devices to work seamlessly. They want to bring the control of all devices under one umbrella.



The whole os is based on a Micro kernal called Zercon which has massive scalability this helps the os have a consolidated control over a wide range of devices. the whole os is mainly written in C language.
Early in 2016 it started off with the "Fish Food" Testing Phase and then moved to Teamfood Phase . Now it at the dog food testing phase and soon Google is preparing for Fuchsia’s first developer releases.
A new “branch” of code was created in the Fuchsia project at the end of January which was entitled “releases/F1.” Over the past few months, a few dozen code changes have been selectively added to this F1 branch of code from the main “master” branch. This same process has happened before for Fuchsia with the various “food” named release branches.
he question Arises on 'F1'phase. Keeping in mind that Fuchsia should now be well past the dogfood stage of testing, and that Chromium/Chrome uses short names like “M90,” it seems quite clearthat “releases/F1” should be something of a first milestone release of Fuchsia


Better yet, roughly six weeks after the F1 branch appeared — the same length of time that separated major updates to Chrome until recently — a similar “releases/F2” branch appeared in the Fuchsia source. Looking further ahead, the Fuchsia bug tracker even has issues tagged to be fixed in a later “F3” release.
From all of this we can say with relative confidence that Google’s Fuchsia OS is approaching its first proper release in a tangible way, with a potentially regular schedule of milestone releases after that.
Having a glance at the first releases of Fuchsia entail? Last time we saw a bit of Fuchsia OS in action, back in 2019, the once-sleek UI of “Armadillo” had been removed and replaced with a bare-bones experience.



In order to experience the new User interface, arrangements made available to run in the specialized “Fuchsia Emulator.” The benefit of a release like this is that developers hopefully won’t need to download and build Fuchsia’s source code for themselves,but can simply download and use a prebuilt version. Google’s Flutter team has got into action making special preparations for the Fuchsia F1 release with a dedicated branch in their engine code.
