@suswombat92:matrix.org@suswombat92:matrix.org* So i havent used nixos so far but i really like the idea of it and as i recently switched back to windows (from arch/ubuntu) id like to explore wsl. Is wsl-nixos only usefull for nixos users or can i use it as a new "nixos" user aswell?19:51:49
@k900:0upti.meK900You can19:53:08
@k900:0upti.meK900But you'll probably be missing out on some of the advantages of NixOS, like declaratively configuring system services, because WSL doesn't really have any19:53:53
@suswombat92:matrix.org@suswombat92:matrix.orgok. Im mostly intrested in the declarative package config and stuff (home manager)20:05:50

@suswombat92:matrix.org@suswombat92:matrix.orgIs there a way to switch to unstable in nixos-wsl?07:01:13
@k900:0upti.meK900Yes, you can just do that the same way you do it on normal NixOs07:01:44

@suswombat92:matrix.org@suswombat92:matrix.orgthanks07:11:40
@suswombat92:matrix.org@suswombat92:matrix.orgi really think nix-wsl is a great way to learn nix07:12:57
@suswombat92:matrix.org@suswombat92:matrix.orgit being "isolated" is a good thing for now because otherwise i would have given up already i think07:13:27
@suswombat92:matrix.org@suswombat92:matrix.org"Grant your user ownership of /etc/nixos" is this dangerous?07:21:35
@k900:0upti.meK900No07:36:20
@k900:0upti.meK900You still need root to actually activate the new configuration07:36:29
