The goal isn't to supplant Linux as a commodity kernel, but instead as a microkernel for integrated mobile devices. E.g., as a platform OS, not a general one.

The goal isn't to supplant Linux as a commodity kernel, but instead as a microkernel for integrated mobile devices. E.g., as a platform OS, not a general one.
So the short answer is "no, unless you use one of Google's hypothetical future post-Android devices".
- treyd 3y agoWould Fuchsia supplant Android on mainstream smartphones or is it more intended for specialized devices like smart TVs and smart watches?
- refulgentis 3y agoAny idea of that part was killed several years back, ensuing brain drain combined with firings makes it sort of a non-sequitor to even wonder. It is on life support already, and an obvious target for more Efficiencies™ should the 2020s turn rougher.
