Fuchsia, New OS on Android

Google is allegedly developing a new OS called Fuchsia. The operating system first appeared in August last year, still a command line.

Later, Fuchsia appeared in the form of a leaked operating system interface (UI) coded "Armadillo". Homescreen Fuchsia displays cards or cards that can be scrolled vertically.

In the center of the screen there is a sort of place for user profile photos, dates, city names, and battery icons. On top of it is a "stories" card that works like "recent apps" on Android.

UI is still apparently a prototype is also capable of displaying split-screen interface and the appearance can be enlarged to fit the tablet screen.

Different from Android and Chrome OS before, Fuchsia did not use the Linux kernel, but a new microkernel named Magenta developed by Google.
Fuchsia is based on open-source code so it's still free to tamper with. The SDK used is Google Flutter which can be used to write Android and iOS apps.
