@k900:0upti.meK900Not really, no 20:13:49
@greg:thehellings.comgregIt was, however, very easy to figure out if you've ever side loaded another distro. Basically you: 1) Build the target 2) Load it with the WSL command 3) Launch it 4) Profit20:25:37
@greg:thehellings.comgregI managed to build an Arm version for loading on my Samsung Book Go 5G without docs, having been familiar with direct loading Fedora previously20:26:36
@greg:thehellings.comgregI wouldn't recommend it, because the Windows on ARM experience is kinda garbage outside of using the Edge browser. The whole terminal will just occasionally hang for about thirty seconds (and it's not Nix's fault nor even WSL's, as it also happens for cmd.exe)20:29:26
@greg:thehellings.comgregBut it's very feasible if you don't mind waiting for it to start responding again every once in a while20:29:57
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameI have a long list of what I want to put in a documentation once I get around to writing one, but I don't have time for it at the moment22:02:47

@i97henka:matrix.orghenrik-chWhat is the best way to get these new included on my system? Reinstalling is actually not a big deal, but thought I should ask if there is a better/quicker way.19:38:30
@k900:0upti.meK900 You can just go to /etc/nixos/nixos-wsl and git pull, I believe 19:44:20

@k900:0upti.meK900The latest VSCode update removes the old WSL connection methods that allowed us to sneak in the environment08:49:58

@greg:thehellings.comgregGood thing vim still works. 😂13:06:18
@k900:0upti.meK900Lots of things still work, technically, but I am actually getting so pissed at Microsoft for not fixing this by now 13:08:30
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameVSCode ist currently installing an update 😨16:20:32
@k900:0upti.meK900RIP16:21:05
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameStill works! And the settings are still there as well (On VSCode 1.77.0 now)16:23:09
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameDo I need the preview version to break it?16:23:37
@k900:0upti.meK900I don't think so16:24:31
@k900:0upti.meK900Are you using the inotify autopatch thing16:24:36
@k900:0upti.meK900Or nix-ld16:24:39
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson Copperflamenix-ld And probably most importantly syschdemd (because someone has to be the canary for when it explodes)16:26:15

@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameBut these are still there as well16:26:45
@k900:0upti.meK900Huh16:27:57
@k900:0upti.meK900Maybe the extension hasn't updated yet16:28:02
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameIt's gone and broken on insiders though16:28:11
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameSo I never close VSCode or shutdown again, got ya16:28:30
