There's a set of docs on Fuchsia that you can read about if you'd like (https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/docs/+/master/the-book/ https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/docs/+/master/the-book/)
There's some discussion of it already on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16813796 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16813796
Some advantages of the Fuchsia architecture over Linux for Android:
* Capability based system; applications only get access to objects, including files, directories, other processes, etc via capabilities, so they can only affect those objects they have been given access to directly. This is much better for security and isolation of applications.
* Userspace drivers with a stable ABI, or with the possibility of versioned ABIs. This could allow them to ship updates to the underlying system without waiting for vendors, reducing fragmentation.
