Ubuntu and Kali don't run on it let alone Windows 10 IoT core, same goes for Arch and pretty much everything else. This is a ARMv6, for which most distros stopped support several years ago if they ever ran on it.

Arch will definitely run on a Pi:

So will Win10 IOT core, Ubuntu, and several other things:

Win10 IOT core needs ARMv7. The latest Ubuntu with ARMv6 support was karmic (9.10) Forgot about arch Supporting ARMv6.
