Fuchsia is an operating system currently being developed by Google.^[1] Contrary to previous operating systems developed by Google such as Chrome OS and Android, which are based on the Linux kernel, Fuchsia is based on a new microkernel called Magenta,^[2] derived from Little Kernel, which was intended for embedded systems and is mainly written in C.^[3] Fuchsia is designed to run on a multitude of devices, including mobile phones and personal computers.^[4]

The symbol of the operating system at the repository hosting service GitHub is a fuchsia-colored square.
