- rbanffy 5y agoGNU/Fucsia would probably end up similar to GNU/Hurd in that case, or Apple's MkLinux.
- skybrian 5y agoI'm guessing that depends on how big the pile of Fuchsia-compatible device drivers grows and how badly people running open source OSes want to use that hardware. Where there's a demand for a particular class of device, maybe someone will create a shim? Then the kernel folks can have a debate. Currently though, I think Linux has a big head start.
