Not to discredit the effort, but saying you've released your own fork of QEMU to run your own OS, creates an impression that you're perfectly happy to (prefer to?) create a parallel universe for yourself, with your own tools and its own ecosystem... Which will obviously all be controlled by Google. Not very good optics, IMO.

If you want promote Fuschia as a useful, general purpose computing platform (and not just an attempt for Google to avoid the GPL), you probably want to work upstream with existing projects to improve support generally instead of creating your own suite of forks.

As raggi mentioned above, you can use both.

The additional feature that FEMU provides us is Vulkan support, which allows you to interact with a GUI.

On the team, we use both. For example, I know many folks on the Zircon team prefer vanilla QEMU.

Yet Google's Browser engine is a fork of WebKit and surprise it is used in Chrome, Electron and QtWebEngine and everyone is using it.

As Fuchsia is highly dependent on Flutter and the whole ecosystem will be able to run Flutter apps on day 1, I would bet that this is going to be the Android replacement in this decade.

This is how old google would have worked. Now that google is all grown up they take a more cost conscious approach. How the mighty have not so much fallen, as sunk.

Why the down votes ? Perfectly polite and mostly valid comment.
