I’m not sure I would consider fuschia an example that supports your point.
It’s design largely failed at being a modern generic operating system and it’s become primarily an os used for embedded devices which is an entirely different set of requirements
It’s also not that widely used. There’s only a handful of devices that ship fuschia today. There’s a reason for that.

- uncircle 1y agoDid it fail because of its microkernel design? It’s quite disingenuous to use “success” as a metric when discussing the advantages microkernel vs monolithic, as the only kernels you can safely say have succeeded in the past 30+ years are three: Linux, NT and Mach, one of which is a microkernel (of arguably dated design), and the other is considered a “hybrid microkernel.” Did L4 fail? What about QNX? This topic was considered a flame war in the 90s and I guess it still isn’t possible to have a level-headed argument over the pros and cons of each design to this day.
