Check out their efforts on the new Fuschia OS. I'm fairly certain it's Google's attempt to design a mobile OS from scratch to get rid of some of the overhead introduced into Android as a function of it being a Linux derivative.
- grobbles 10y ago[this will be a dead post because dang is a bitch] Ignoring that Android has been replacing ChromeOS rather than the other way around (the PixelC, and now the Android runtime on Chromebooks), your conspiracy about Fuschia is hilarious garbage. Fuschia is essentially vaporware intended for extremely small scale IoT products. It isn't replacing Android, however much Android haters might wish and dream it.
- flukus 10y agoWhat overhead is there from linux? Most of it seems to come from there own API's.
- pjmlp 10y agoNot sure, but contrary to what many think, the Linux kernel on Android lacks many APIs and the set of allowed stable libraries is quite small. With Android N, they took the extra step to kill native apps that dare to link to Android native libraries, if not part of the stable list, like libpng for example. Regarding Fushia the overhead seems to actually be anything under GPL.

- moosingin3space 10y agoFuschia, IIRC, is an RTOS, which I'm not sure makes much sense for a general-purpose multi-tasking mobile OS.
