Hello Please excuse my absense, I’m not very often on the PC during the holidays.Thank you for taking the time to respond and provide this very nice technical summary. While you’re clear about your distaste for Windows, I still thought you’d be amused to hear that the Windows Subsystem for Linux will happily run your full suite of ARM64 Linux toys on ARM64 Windows. ![]() Any further work WINE does to support it will keep working. So, if Notepad++ added ARM64 to its list of platforms it generates binaries for, then the Notepad++ end of things would be done and you’d only have to worry about WINE support.Ī corollary to the SDK release is that the ARM64 Windows ABI is published, so it’s stable. It has an officially published ABI (that a project like WINE could use), a full Win32 API surface, and now a full SDK as pointed out (out of beta, so no WindowsSDKDesktopARMSupport needed). Windows 10 on ARM, on the other hand, is ARM64 full-desktop Windows (though the only BSPs I know of are for Qualcomm’s 835 and 850 SoCs). Since IoT Edition is a trimmed down Windows intended to run UWPs, it might be lacking functionality that Notepad++ needs (a la Windows RT). Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi is necessarily Windows 10 IoT Edition and ARM32 (AFAIK, since I haven’t heard about a 64-bit RPi board support package coming out). ![]() Still, it probably makes porting easier (and probably made nataz’ StarCraft binary translation easier). Microsoft only officially supports ARM32 UWPs. ![]() A few thoughts:ĪRM32 WoW shouldn’t be needed since not much has been published…that I’m aware of. Your Windows software on the RPi post was enlightening. Hi here as a long-time fan of Notepad++, but I also have a small professional interest in this question: I’m a Microsoft engineer that works on Windows 10 on ARM, especially on encouraging more projects to publish for it.
