According to a recent report by 9to5Google who laid eyes on one of Google’s documents before it was hidden, one of the tech giant’s upcoming smart home devices will ship with Fuchsia OS from day one.

The secret-ish, new operating system from Google that we’re entirely convinced is meant to eventually replace Android, ChromeOS, WearOS and really everything else the company offers from a software standpoint is quickly rolling out to smart home devices.

Google’s new operating system, “Fuchsia” remains mostly a mystery today.

The Fuchsia operating system is now making its way to the Nest Hub Max, roughly a year after it launched on the first-generation Nest Hub (originally called the Home Hub), except with a caveat — your Google Assistant smart display needs to be enrolled in the Preview Program.

Nearly half a year ago, Google’s mysterious Fuchsia OS began rolling out to first-generation Nest Hub devices as the primary operating system, replacing Cast OS.

Google has been working to develop its not-so-secret operating system, Fuchsia, for many years, and only recently made it publicly visible by inviting developers to contribute to the project.

A relatively interesting bit of news began circulating on the internet yesterday. Google is apparently working on an OS that is not Android, not Chrome OS, and not running on the Linux kernel.
