I'm also hoping Fuchsia will save us.

I wouldn't count on it. Google doesn't seem particularly interested in the desktop at all. And if they were, then my worry is that it'll be seen like Windows 10 is now seen by Microsoft: as an "experience" (aka advertising platform), not a tool people use to get things done that should spend most of its time staying the hell out of the way.

At least they are bringing Android native apps and official GNU/Linux support to ChromeOS.

Have you completely missed all the advances on Chrome OS lately?

While Fuchsia has some nice ideas, given its licensing expect the same update experience as Android.

I doubt it, considering the strategy Google followed with Chrome OS.

Time will tell.

How is Fuchsia pronounced? Is it like "f*ck+sia"? Or more like "fushia"?

Edit: looking up in dictionay, it's actually /fjuːʃə/.

It's a real English word. You can look it up in a dictionary.

The color is named after the genus of plants which is in turn named after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.
