Google Fuschia is a microkernel OS according to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia_(operating_system)

This is based on little kernel from recollection (noted somewhere in the docs)

Nobody, and I mean literally NOBODY, can spell "Fuchsia".

Idea: "fuchs" is German for "fox".

This guy fuchs.

The OS Fuchsia is named after the colour Fuchsia named after the flower Fuchsia named after a Renaissance-era Bavarian botanist Leonhart Fuchs.

So, you're supposed to spell this guy's name with a capital F.

I was wondering how it went from "Fuks" to "Few-Sha" - and apparently that was via Latin:

> Leonhart Fuchs (German: [ˈleːɔnhaʁt ˈfʊks] ... sometimes spelled Leonhard Fuchs and cited in Latin as Leonhartus Fuchsius

TIL... that flower fews like Fuschius?
