"If you plan on using the .NET Core runtime, you'll be using a stripped down version of .NET that has the lowest common denominator needed to run on multiple platforms. That means a lot of stuff that was in full framework just won't be there. What that is exactly is not always so obvious. All platform specific Windows features are obviously not there, but there will be plenty of other stuff too."
