And how it runs the chrome browser better than Linux? That's the question. Saving a meg of memory for OS doesn't matter once you start running hundreds of megs of code, and different, less popular kernel just means less drivers and harder onboarding for any developer
- waych 4y agoYou're right; it isn't about saving a meg of ram. To Google Fuschia is about having a better (to them) alternative than Linux. GPL is a pain in the ass when working with hardware vendors and getting driver code produced. Fuschia is about having an alternative they control where the user will never get copyleft access to driver sources.
- vetinari 4y agoIt's not like most Android vendors -- or their SoC providers -- aren't ignoring GPL anyway. Inside these drivers, there's nothing world-shatteringly innovative, except by not publishing the sources they are not showing the low quality job they do, and make reuse, updating of their devices more difficult.
