@sielicki:matrix.org@sielicki:matrix.orgcome to think of it, I have some PRs I want to open against nixpkgs, I packaged zsh-histdb, zsh-histdb-skim, zsh-histdb-fzf and want to get those in. Maybe next weekend I'll take a stab at the installer.17:43:14

It's mostly just that all of this would be a lot easier if upstream actually communicated to distros
If we get the hold of some name I could try to write them a nice mail.

when 95% of your users only know apt, it's hard to justify spending money on someone to communicate with a random snowflake distro
yes, thats true. If I could convenience my employer that WSL is an actually supported and broadly used dev environment on Windows then maybe something moves but it isn't and most other people use Mac and are scared to update on every major update because $things break.

The Twitter of the WSL lead dev is in the footer of the native systemd announcement IIRC

@sandro:supersandro.deSandro 🐧 Did we get any further with wslg other than running sudo rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix; ln -s /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix /tmp/.X11-unix every start or am I breaking things? 09:52:50
@k900:0upti.meK900It should work fine with native systemd09:54:33
@k900:0upti.meK900Native systemd is almost perfect now if you also do the hack in https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL/issues/17109:55:10
@sandro:supersandro.deSandro 🐧so I basically change my login shell to a wrapper that sources our envs because they run over pam?11:29:56
