On the other side of things, Google Fuchsia's goal is confirmed as being a universal OS to run on all consumer devices and to replace the usecases of both Android and ChromeOS. This system also runs off a microkernel, which is called Zircon and was forked from littlekernel. Its graphics use Vulkan. techradar.com/news/google-fuchsia
So's pointer aliasing, but that never stopped compiler writers from semideciding it

the only microkernel i care about is the Hurd

Get a load of this retard.

Do you even know what a microkernel is? Hurd internally uses a GNU implementation of the Mach kernel, yeah, surely a fucking "microkernel" using internally a hybrid kernel becomes a microkernel.
Mach has the graphics drivers, network stack, file system and god knows what else running in kernel mode, hence it's not a real microkernel, but an hybrid kernel. That's probably why the project is dead, everyone stopped contributing to a real microkernel instead, thanks fucking RMS.

>Mach has the graphics drivers, network stack, file system and god knows what else running in kernel mode Holy fuck you cannot be serious. You're aware you're talking about Mach 2.0, which MacOS uses, and Hurd uses Mach 3.0, which is a true microkernel?
>The Hurd presently uses hardware drivers implemented in the microkernel GNU Mach
Christian Thomas
That page is outdated. All the drivers I'm aware of have been moved to DDE or Rump. In fact, DDE itself has been deprecated in favor of Rump kernels. Hurd relatively recently got a LWIP userspace network stack and libstore was modified to work with userspace servers.
Nicholas Morgan
Also a userspace PCIe server.

Isn't this what Jow Forums said the future of kernels was going to be years ago?
So where's linux going to end up? Do they start from scratch with their own microkernel?
Evan Anderson
Hurd is a GNU/Linux compatible microkernel and it already exists. if anyone cared about microkernels they would just dump development into that.
