 emily | if they had equal userbases, that would make sense | 00:00:56 |
 Tristan Ross | Hmm, maybe we should see if the surveys the marketing team puts out could ask people what kind of hardware they run Nix or NixOS on | 01:25:53 |
| Tristan Ross | I've sort of drafted this https://pad.lassul.us/9yYTVp73QBul7dCm6tCWsw?view | 01:41:29 |
| Tristan Ross | The left side is like lower tiers which means better changes of things working. | 01:42:26 |
| Tristan Ross | So like riscv32-linux-gnu is sort of considered not really supported | 01:42:46 |
| Tristan Ross | While x86_64-linux-gnu has full support | 01:42:57 |
| emily | surely aarch64-darwin should have user adoption rather than x86_64-darwin? | 01:45:41 |
| emily | they haven't produced an x86 Mac in years | 01:45:48 |
| Tristan Ross | 🤷 | 01:46:00 |
| emily | (also I don't think cross-compilation is a criterion? maybe I'm misunderstanding) | 01:46:25 |
| Tristan Ross | I consider being able to do cross a sort of base criteria | 01:48:31 |
| Tristan Ross | Some systems may be exempt (like Darwin) for technical reasons | 01:48:50 |
| Tristan Ross | The first two criteria I consider to be a baseline support for it in nixpkgs | 01:49:13 |
| Tristan Ross | It means you can get a system but support is limited | 01:49:28 |
| Tristan Ross | I think we can make an RFC that replaces RFC 46 and make a more formal set of criteria for things. | 01:56:02 |
| emily | I think the RFC 46 criteria are pretty good, esp. in that they primarily define expectations on contributions and support rather than technical proxies for those | 02:00:17 |
| emily | though the ofborg part goes against that a bit :) | 02:00:22 |
| Tristan Ross | Hmm | 02:01:42 |
| Tristan Ross | I changed it, so x86_64-darwin isn't as used with nix as aarch64-darwin? | 04:13:37 |

@aleksana:mozilla.org So the coreutils PR got merged, that'll cause a rebuild of stdenv anyway. I think that other stdenv PR should be good. I have borrowed loongarch64 server from loongson | 04:47:00 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | So | 04:47:02 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | 🥺 | 04:47:14 |

I have borrowed loongarch64 server from loongson Nice, I wish I could have some hardware but there's import restrictions | 04:49:09 |

Nice, I wish I could have some hardware but there's import restrictions Which country are you in now? | 04:49:48 |
| Tristan Ross | In reply to @aleksana:mozilla.org
Which country are you in now? US | 04:49:55 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | They ban people from importing loongarch machine? | 04:50:14 |
| Tristan Ross | Apparently since 2023 | 04:50:39 |
| Tristan Ross | Idk where you even buy the hardware lol | 04:54:07 |

Apparently since 2023 Looks like it doesn't | 04:54:59 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | I can search 3A5000 and 3A6000 on Amazon | 04:55:26 |
