@marcel:envs.netMarcelIs it available though Windows updated? Until now I still had to compile it myself.20:01:45
@marcel:envs.netMarcel * 20:01:53
@k900:0upti.meK900Not yet20:03:09
@k900:0upti.meK900But I believe that bug was the blocker for wider deployment20:03:15
@marcel:envs.netMarcel Hope so 20:03:58
@niklaskorz:korz.devNiklas KorzInteresting, I was running 6.6 on WSL for a few months now and didn't hit that bug22:05:22

@sustainedrelease:matrix.orgsustainedreleaseHas anyone here successfully run VSCode in NixOS, like this article explains? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-vscode23:33:47

@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)It's not as straight-forward as on other distros, but we have a guide for that in the documentation https://nix-community.github.io/NixOS-WSL/how-to/vscode.html23:36:21
@sustainedrelease:matrix.orgsustainedreleaseThanks, I didn't see that. NixOS rocks.23:40:03
@sustainedrelease:matrix.orgsustainedreleaseEverything appears to be working. :D23:45:42

@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)

It's possible to find the WSL version from inside the distro like this

strings /init | sed -nE 's/.* container_host_version_id=(.+\..+\..+\..+)/\1/p'

We might be able to use that to issue a warning on old WSL versions

@k900:0upti.meK900I think there's a magic file with it somewhere? 10:48:41
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it) Currently trying to grep for it, but that's been running for a while now 10:49:18
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it) /mnt/wslg/versions.txt only has the WSLg version, which is at 1.0.65 for me 10:50:33
