 shard | Hi everyone, is anyone using VcXsrv here? I'm tired of the ugly borders when using GUI apps with WSLg. For some reason I have problems with VcXsrv, display and IP is set correctly but it doesn't work 🤷♂️ | 17:25:34 |
| shard | And from what I saw, VcXsrv is faster too | 17:26:03 |

| philthompson | Hey people, been using NixOS for about a year now. However, no matter how hard I try I can't leave Windows (yet). I don't use Home Manager or Flakes. I read somewhere that support for using a channel for NixOS-WSL has been implemented but I can't find the URL. So my question is, can I add the (if it exists) NixOS-WSL channel to my existing NixOS configuration and be able to build a tar.gz that I can chuck into WSL?
Granted I'll need a custom build tailored for WSL but it'd be great to get some of the config I've spent a year tweaking into Windows.
Also, would the NixOS-WSL build that targets NixPkgs 24.05 work with my NixOS configuration that currently targets unstable or do I need to match the version? | 12:04:15 |
 K900 | Just grab the existing tarball | 12:10:52 |
| K900 | It has a channel setup | 12:10:55 |
| K900 | It does work on unstable | 12:11:02 |

It does work on unstable Thanks. I guess I need to learn a bit more about channels. | 14:06:08 |
| K900 | You shouldn't need to? | 14:06:37 |
| K900 | Just use the default tarball from CI | 14:06:44 |
| K900 | And then copy your config in | 14:06:48 |
| philthompson | Ah okay. Didn't realise it was that simple. The Flu is affecting my brain. Cheers. | 14:07:26 |

 mwoodpatrickmx | I'm running NixOS on WSL and experimenting running VM's under my NixOS. I have virt-manager installed and am able to create some basic VM's running. I would appreciate any pointers to docs or info on best practices when running virt-manager & libvirtd on NixOS under WSL-2. Especially any issues related to doing this under WSL-2. | 13:14:28 |
| K900 | Don't, generally | 13:17:56 |
| K900 | Nested virt is pretty slow even on a good day | 13:18:03 |
| K900 | And you have Hyper-V right there | 13:18:07 |
| mwoodpatrickmx |
And you have Hyper-V right there
Can you elaborate
| 13:21:51 |
 nzbr (they/it) | From my experience: It does work (used it to run https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM) but it frequently crashed Hyper-V for me. At least that's what I assume happened - The screen just went black and it rebooted, not even a BSOD
That was on an insider build through, so it might be less crash-prone now | 13:21:59 |
