alt Hacker NewsFuschia is not a desktop OS. It's designed for lower end or embedded hardware. Besides, Android has the highly profitable app ecosystem so it makes more financial sense to build GoogleBook based on that.

That was the result of not being successful in development and then they shifted to it. It was not like this at beginning or by design.

It wasn’t actually. From the docs for Zircon (Fuchsia’s kernel) [0]:
> Zircon targets modern phones and modern personal computers with fast processors, non-trivial amounts of ram with arbitrary peripherals doing open ended computation.
Fuchsia also had a Linux compatibility layer similar to WSL1 at some point. Might still be there?
