Google is looking to replace Linux with a microkernel and Java for the apps with Dart (but with support for C, C++, Go, Python and Rust) in a new mobile OS. They're saying the it's for IoT but signs point to it being the new Android/ChromeOS.

>For anyone unfamiliar, Andromeda seems to be the replacement for both Android and Chrome OS (cue endless debates over the semantics of that, and what it all entails). Fuchsia is the actual name of the operating system, while Magenta is the name of the kernel, or more correctly, the microkernel. Many of the architectural design decisions appear to have unsurprisingly been focused on creating a highly scalable platform.

You are about 6 months late to the party and fuchsia is dead and finished. The lead developer went full SJW and gave up. We are waiting for an official announcement from google that they are ditching the OS like hundreds of pet projects they create each year.

It will only be a matter of time before something like CyanogenMod appears for Fuchsia. Even in the worst case scenario we will still be able to run HenriettaMod on developer-friendly devices like the Nexuses.

Same. Looking at https://github.com/fuchsia-mirror they have a metric shitton of commits across dozens of repos just in the last 24 hours.

>>58956499
The future of Linux probably looks more like Alpine than RHEL, with no GNU, no systemd and running in a container somewhere. The container host doesn't need systemd, either, and can even be FreeBSD.
>>
>>58956816
>i hate GNU
Linux already used in containers and toybox/busybox are limited tools and can't be mainstream. It's not like their target was to replace coreutils, just be a lightweight alternative.
>>
>>58956968
I did not say anything about my preferences or attitude towards GNU, only about what I expect to happen. It is evident that a lot of people running servers, i.e., the majority of Linux users, do not need more than BusyBox.

We already have to put up with some random bitches that think that contribute by commenting stupid ass politically correct shit on peoples code and some non contributing attention whore sex changing faggots running amok.
>>
>>58956997
Majority of servers use glibc and coreutils. Busybox is for embedded. Alpine is just an option for the containers, but not really the best if it comes to compatibility or features.

>replace Android
dead on arrival.

iOS and Android are well established brands with shitload of 3rd party support.
How on earth is google going to make up for it?
Many tried, all of them failed to carve even the slightest piece of the cake.

>>58957056
I use OpenBSD.

>>58957083
I don't care.
>>
>>58957037
I expect servers to migrate pretty thoroughly to containers in the next 5-10 years. We will probably see a lot more static linking, too, so a distro's libc version won't matter as much.
>>
>>58955670
they used apache for most of their projects.
What exactly have they released under gpl?

Microkernels are superior. They don't have all the bloat and cruft that monolith kernels suffer from.
>>
>>58959199
Of course, since it's GPLd so they cannot just take, they have to give something back.

>>58959291
They have the "bloat" elsewhere.

>>58959335
If GPL is gommunismo, therefore it's a common good, why can't i do whatever i want with it. If the relicensing under closed source or linking with GPL incompatible software isn't allowed, and the top of that there is a copyright on it, why is it communism? The only quasi-communist thing is the public domain.

>>58958593
Now compare it to lkml as some retard want to replace it everywhere.

>>58955464
Sounds great. Dart is an amazing language that could use the popularity and the fewer devices run Linux the better.
>>
>>58955464
Unless it can run all Android apps, it's dead.
That said, even if it can, I don't see myself using it.
>>
>>58959368
>why can't i do whatever i want with it
Because you might not contribute back to it and keep any improvements you made to yourself or even worse sell them like the dirty little capitalist you are.

Now kindly check yourself into the nearest gulag.

>in a new mobile OS.
So Android becomes FuckCIA. We already knew that Android is full botnet. The question is whether forks can be made and installed on said devices without the botnet code.
>>
Considering Google's recent track record it will probably be a huge failure and abandoned in a few years. I hope it succeeds though, it has a decent license and I would assume Google would make it somewhat POSIX compliant.
>>
>>58959461
I will not contribute anyway.
>>
>>58955464
they won't replace it though.

the chink hardware manufacturers barely manage to release code for linux. no one is going to waste time supporting some abomination that google will be able to close off within the next 3-4 years after like 4-7 companies publish their own nonfree, shitty ass fork of it.
>>
>>58959497
>decent license
Enjoy your zero and unfixable support after 6 months. Didn't you learn from android?
>>
>>58959522
What does that have to do with the license? It's open source, it would be worse if it was closed source, that's all I was trying to say.

>>58959497
Came here to say that.

Also, I don't think we've really resolved the microkernel vs monolithic kernel issue, and I would like to see two dominant FOSS kernels -- one of each -- and let them battle it out over the next few years. I'd like to be able to choose either type and know it has a huge base of support.

Microkernels have had some performance weaknesses. But microkernels also tend to be more robust and secure. Time will tell which will be the more important goal in the long run.
>>
>>58959554
the permissive licensing ensures that your shitty phone will ship with probably hundreds of nonfree blobs that will likely break on ABI changes to the "FOSS core" and manufacturers will basically tell you to fuck off.
>>
>>58955464
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Magenta, is in fact, Fuchsia/Magenta, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Fuchsia plus Magenta.
>>
>>58959554
Check the toybox story and busybox license breaches. Google tries to destroy GPL from their system, to make the development cheaper rather fucking fixing the fragmentation. Don't be evil my ass!
>>
>>58959592
And the alternative would be proprietary software, how would that be better?

Google said there wasn't an "Andromeda OS" or a merger between Android and ChromeOS. They're still developing Fuchsia. They didn't say Fuchsia won't replace Android and/or ChromeOS. There are drivers for the Nexus 5X's SoC in the repos, which suggests they're targeting phones.
>>
>>58955464
>Java

Glad to see this won't be a challenge for 99.9% of their employee base
>>
>>58959295
What happens is that they write their own libraries and programming languages and operating systems. Basically the GPL has lost.
