Google's newest OS lands first in an unlikely device

This week, Google sort of announced on Twitter that they are rolling out their brand new OS (Fuchsia) to the OG Nest Hub from 2018. The overall look and feel will be the same, although I am hoping for a boost in performance. The update can be yours if you join the Preview program and wait for the update to push to your device. For the uninitiated, Fuchsia is an open-source capability-based operating system developed from the ground up by Google. The project has been in development for years (since 2016) and is finally making its way to a consumer device. There have also been rumblings that Google will eventually bring the OS to phones, tablets, and laptops.

From the looks of it Google is just getting started with the new OS and I am eager to see where we can see Fuchsia next. I don't expect Google to talk about any plans for Fuchsia’s future until IO next year. I think Google has big plans for Fuchsia. We just might have to wait for a bit to see their end goal.

Right now, I am rocking a Pixelbook Go from 2019 and using a Pixel 10 Pro with a Pixel Tablet. I'm fine with this setup but my needs for more capable and powerful computing is getting harder to ignore. My Pixelbook Go does not seem as connected to my other devices as I would like which would explain why I don't use it as much. ChromeOS has not progressed much over ...
