Independent developers releases Fuchsia OS simulator

The independent developer of Dahlia OS has implemented a portable Fuchsia emulator Flmage to help experience Fuchsia OS.

Earlier this week, Google officially released Fuchsia OS, but now only some users of the first-generation Nest Hub can experience it. Although Fuchsia OS is open source, users can download and compile the code on their computer, but it can only run on compatible devices such as Google Pixelbook. Therefore, the developers of Dahlia OS implemented a Fuchsia emulator to help experience Fuchsia OS. The simulator already includes a pre-built version of Fuchsia.

However, the emulator only supports the Linux platform (developer recommends Ubuntu 20.04 or above). If you want to get a good performance experience, a computer running FLmage needs more than 8 GB of memory, Intel CPUs manufactured after 2010, fourth-generation Intel processors, and the latest graphics drivers. If the computer meets the specifications, basically only need to download the latest Flmage version, unzip it, and then run a few terminal commands, the user can start to experience Fuchsia OS.

In addition, the developers of Dahlia OS stated that they plan to update the FImage project to the latest version of Fuchsia on a regular basis to help fans of Fuchsia OS.
