nzbr (they/it) | In my experience that one is really slow though (especially compared to WSA)
Some time ago I used Genymotion Desktop, but I have no idea how good their free version is now. And if you can stand adware, BlueStacks had really good performance last time I used it; it's just really annoying (at least they don't seem to make you download random apps to be allowed to continue using it anymore) | 14:41:30 |
balanced_design | Ive done alot of searching before, never heard of genymotion. Looks promising, thank you. | 17:09:37 |
balanced_design | In reply to @k900:0upti.me For VSCode, the easiest workaround is probably https://github.com/K900/vscode-remote-workaround/blob/main/vscode.nix K900, sorry to bother, that link you sent here. Is this supposed to go into the nix config? I tried to some searching for other places a .nix file may need to go, but didnt find any general overview with a cursory search. | 17:14:52 |

pm5k | Hi, I am currently having trouble figuring out why my wsl install of nix isn't seeing windows binaries available to it (explorer.exe for instance) nor can I see the windows path prepended to my nixOS path.
My config for the system (wsl specifically) is:
wsl = {
enable = true;
defaultUser = "redacted";
nativeSystemd = true;
interop.register = true;
wslConf.network.hostname = "nixwsl";
};
Based on the documentation provided here: https://nix-community.github.io/NixOS-WSL/options.html the following options default to true and as such I assume they are set whether or not I explicitly define them in the block above?
- wsl.interop.includePath
- wsl.wslConf.interop.enabled
- wsl.wslConf.interop.appendWindowsPath
However upon trying to run "explorer.exe" - it simply does not work. Not so on my orther wsl VM running Arch where the path seems to be appended properly. Can anyone help?

K900 | What shell are you using? | 10:28:04 |
pm5k | In reply to @k900:0upti.me What shell are you using? zsh | 10:30:20 |
K900 | Make sure programs.zsh.enable is enabled in your config | 10:30:35 |

pm5k | This is in configuration.nix | 10:31:12 |

pm5k | I also use this: | 10:31:43 |
K900 | That is probably what's breaking it then | 10:31:59 |
pm5k | Since I want my zshrc transferrable I am sourcing it this way | 10:31:59 |
pm5k | Does not seem to be as if I comment that out, and not use that symlink letting zsh gen a base config it still does not work | 10:33:24 |
pm5k | Oh okay so you know what the issue was? | 10:36:38 |
pm5k | Simply logging out from the profile does not reapply the path stuff | 10:36:53 |
pm5k | you need to execute wsl --shutdown for this to be picked up | 10:37:06 |
pm5k | Just tried it as a last ditch effort and it worked | 10:37:17 |
nzbr (they/it) | Anything that changes wsl.conf requires a restart of the distro (wsl -t <name> should be sufficient). It'd be nice if we could add a warning for that, like I've seen on other distros when an update requires a reboot | 17:02:54 |
nzbr (they/it) | We could touch a file in /run through an activation script and print the message there as well as in the shell wrapper when there's no arguments and it is started as a login shell | 17:05:36 |
