Google's Fuchsia OS will support Linux apps
Google's non-Linux-based Fuchsia OS has added an emulator for running Debian Linux apps. Like its upcoming Linux emulator for Chrome OS, Fuchsia's "Guest" app will offer tighter integration than typical emulators.
Google has added a Guest app to its emergent and currently open source Fuchsia OS to enable Linux apps to run within Fuchsia as a virtual machine (VM). The Guest app makes use of a library called Machina that permits closer integration with the OS than is available with typical emulators, according to a recent 9to5Google story.
Last month, Google announced a Project Crostini technology that will soon let Chromebook users more easily run mainstream Linux applications within a Chrome OS VM. This week, Acer's Chromebook Flip C101 joined the short list of Chromebooks that will offer Linux support later this year.

I am constantly amazed at how arrogant you are.

Being arrogant and being correct are not mutually exclusive.

True, but if you are the former about the later then you are a douche.

"Eat shit and die"? If you think Linux is calcified, you are probably not even Two Score and ten, yet. And you do not work well with others. Blatant intentional violation of CoC! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Systemd!
