You do Sometimes I'm not on my personal devices, but want to bring my environment there without much effort | 05:36:12 |
| K900 | And you have NixOS on those devices, with root access? | 05:36:43 |
| K900 | Then they're effectively personal devices | 05:36:52 |
| thou-vow | No root access, but they have WSL | 05:37:20 |
| thou-vow | * No privileges, but they have WSL | 05:37:50 |
| K900 | So you do have root access to WSL | 05:37:56 |
| K900 | In which case you can have a generic "WSL" configuration I guess | 05:38:08 |
| thou-vow | I was able to install NixOS WSL there | 05:39:04 |
| thou-vow | But maybe I don't need that | 05:39:27 |
| thou-vow | I've been thinking, home-manager and nix-shell can do everything I need | 05:41:18 |
| thou-vow | Thanks for your advices | 05:42:15 |
 Andrew Carter | Thanks - as I looked into it, I realized that was the issue. I can cross-compile a build myself from an Intel WSL Nix right? | 19:17:11 |
| K900 | Uhhh | 19:19:01 |
| K900 | Maaaaaybe? | 19:19:04 |
| K900 | I don't know if anyone actually tried | 19:19:10 |
| K900 | I think you'll have a better chance getting Nix on another aarch64 distro | 19:19:26 |
| K900 | Then using that to build the tarball | 19:19:31 |
| Andrew Carter | I'll try setting up a Linux guest on hyper-v on this machine and see if I can build there. | 19:23:05 |
| K900 | You should be able to just grab an Ubuntu WSL image | 19:23:24 |
| K900 | Or whatever they officially offer for aarch64 | 19:23:31 |

 mwoodpatrickmx | I'm trying to run xterm on NixOs on WSL-2 but I'm getting xterm: cannot load font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1" does anyone know how to fix | 01:36:13 |
| K900 | You probably need to enable services.xserver so it installs the ancient bitmap fonts | 01:40:23 |
| K900 | Or maybe don't use xterm lol | 01:40:30 |
| mwoodpatrickmx | Any recommendations on a good modern terminal to use with X and Wayland | 12:11:30 |
| K900 | Why are you running a terminal on the WSL side anyway | 12:12:23 |
| K900 | Like why not just run Windows Terminal or whatever | 12:12:36 |
 Niklas Korz | yeah Windows Terminal is your best bet | 12:13:36 |
