I tried the technical preview of IoT core and was underwhelmed. The mouse didn't even work! It jumped around erratically making it unusable.
My experience with Linux on the Pi is that it just works out of the box. Simple things that you need to install a driver for on Windows are plug and play on Linux [0].
I installed the desktop Windows 10 preview just to flash the SD card. Although I read in the Mag Pi [1] that there is a Python script [2] to convert the image to a normal format.
I'm a big fan of C# and I'm a professional .NET developer. It's my go to stack. Yet, I believe that the best way to use a Raspberry Pi is with Python on Linux.

- UK-AL 11y agoIt's not meant to be a desktop. It meant to be be an embedded system with no mouse or keyboard and maybe a touchscreen.
- jsingleton 11y agoI completely get that but when the app you pushed to it requires interaction with a button then a mouse is more than just a nice to have.
- not_with_retard 11y agoIt ships with mouse drivers, they don't work.
- teekert 11y agoSomeone badly just needs to make a bit for bit image. Or is that illegal? In anycase, as long as I keep it offline I'd at least be willing to try it out, without a win 10 machine it's my only option.
- jsingleton 11y agoI've written up the process here: https://unop.uk/dev/windows-10-iot-core-public-release-for-raspberry-pi-2-install-and-first-impressions/ https://unop.uk/dev/windows-10-iot-core-public-release-for-r... I'd host the file but I imagine it will go out of date pretty quickly as MS change the original.
