 K900 | This is something I really don't want to work around because it'll be hard to get all the small details right | 15:52:59 |
| K900 | And upstream seems to be interested in fixing it correctly | 15:53:08 |
 p10r | fair enough. Would you recommend just keeping the old thing for now instead of switching to nativeSystemd? | 15:58:38 |
| K900 | Yes | 15:59:27 |
| p10r | Thanks! | 16:03:21 |
| K900 | nativeSystemd is to be considered very experimental both upstream and on the NixOS side | 16:03:48 |
| K900 | Though the NixOS side is rather tiny | 16:03:54 |

Though the NixOS side is rather tiny yeah, the size of commit fooled me :) | 16:05:34 |

But it's still kinda buggy and not available on w10 | 16:55:43 |

How do people handle that WSL doesn't launch into a login shell by default? It's fairly trivial to have Windows Terminal start bash -l. But it's more of a hassle with the .desktop app launchers, which also won't launch with a proper environment. Can you create an issue for this? I think the best idea is to somehow run all commands through the user's shell with --login -c "$command", though I'm not sure if that will work with all non posix-compliant shells | 04:55:30 |

Can you create an issue for this?
Sure, I can do that! I wanted to hear people's thoughts first. Not really something that feels like solely a NixOS WSL issue. But until native systemd is stable I guess it's nice to work around these things (e.g. if it's configurable in case people don't want this default behavior).
I guess having things like https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8842 and related things resolved so that systemd "just handles everything". Like, I also have to do an systemctl --user import-environment SSH_AUTH_SOCK WSLENV to get this into my user service environments.

| K900 | I don't think we should keep piling on workarounds for upstream issues | 13:53:04 |
| K900 | That's how you get Ubuntu | 13:53:11 |
| nzbr (they/it) | The problem here is, that we can't ever get rid of syschdemd, because native systemd only works on Windows 11 - so in my opinion, fixing issues with syschdemd makes sense, but we should not pile up workarounds for things that are broken with native systemd and will be fixed by Microsoft in the future | 21:29:51 |

| K900 | What the hell is happening | 09:16:26 |
| K900 | WSL is making a huge vhdx file in %temp% now | 09:16:37 |
| K900 | For my /tmp | 09:16:40 |
| K900 | That's mounted on tmpfs | 09:16:45 |
| K900 | What is even | 09:16:52 |

| nzbr (they/it) | Like these? | 09:18:53 |
| K900 | Yep | 09:19:18 |
| nzbr (they/it) | Weird... I have my /tmp on tmpfs as well (at least I think so) | 09:19:41 |
| nzbr (they/it) | Fun fact: Those appear in my backups | 09:20:13 |

 CyntheticFox | Maybe its some kind of new "swap" implementation? Weird... | 11:16:58 |
| nzbr (they/it) | I do indeed have swap enabled, so that might be it | 11:18:53 |
