Can anyone think of a good reason why you would want to run Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi? I'm not trying to start a Windows/Linux debate, I'm just wondering if the wealth of Windows software is largely unavailable on ARM anyway, why not just run Raspbian anyway?
- aliswe 8y agoFamiliarity?
- WorldMaker 8y agoFor the joy of the hobby? Isn't that why most things get done on a Raspberry Pi? Also, this is recent builds of Windows 10 on ARM that includes the x86 emulator to run a ton of traditional x86 Windows software. (Not far from here is the rabbit hole of folks installing these same Windows 10 on ARM builds on Microsoft's Lumia 950 and 950 XL hardware. One such video I saw showed someone running Steam on it to grab and play Fallout 1.)
- petecox 8y agoTesting? e.g. your main machine is Ubuntu|macos and you just want to fire up Windows 10 Edge. That said, it seems unpowered for general usage. Perhaps MS might look at officially supporting sub-$US100 SBCs such as ROCKPro64.
- sixothree 8y agoBecause raspberry pi is just one of many single board computers; and they are getting more powerful by the day.
