We're also testing auto-uid-allocation since that would simplify the installer a lot: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/196

Notably we did find a small bug with that Nix feature running inside docker, we're working on a fix

@rapenne-s:tchncs.deSolène Rapenne (she/her)hi, we have a meeting today right? :)08:34:25

@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgby the way, just a little note ... we saw in user studies that a lot of people would spend a long time reading the curl'd script and try to replicate what it was doing. That ended up taking a really significant amount of time of the user study, which inspired this little change for the curious: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/commit/6b3a84002e1e43f5d8d2efe7e9c1edd7b89b21bd15:54:37

@abathur:matrix.orgabathurnot sure about quality of the instructions, but spotted this on reddit https://github.com/dnkmmr69420/nix-with-selinux under the title "I got nix working with selinux on silverblue"21:34:06

This would look much less chunky if the author didn't insist on reformatting everything 🤨

@zhaofeng:zhaofeng.liZhaofeng Li

But based on the PR description, they don't appear to be receptive to feedback suggesting otherwise:

this is an objective readability improvement not a style-preference change.

I feel like a good first suggestion might be to split out stuff like that into it's own PR

@abathur:matrix.orgabathurI had a bit of a bizarre exchange with them before they started working on this in an issue, starting at https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3900#issuecomment-126832990923:06:14
