"NixOS on WSL: we get shocked by how it doesn't work, so you get shocked by how it does" We should put that in the channel description, lol | 18:00:04 |

What are folks' main use-cases for this btw?
I was doing something where I wanted to reference a dll so I could use a python library against something proprietary on windows - very rare for me to use windows otherwise Low power Arm Windows laptop that doesn't support native Linux. But still lets me keep my familiar environment | 00:06:23 |
| greg | Just changing the x86 to aarch in the repo flake.nix file built me a perfectly acceptable native image | 00:07:40 |
| Arson Copperflame | @greg:thehellings.com: The only reason, that I haven't put an aarch64 build into the CI and releases is that I have no way to test it. Cool that it seems to work though! | 00:36:05 |

| ecmacat | hi! I tried to update to the latest version on main branch, but a "nixos-rebuild switch" starts compiling gtk3? | 12:46:34 |
| ecmacat | Is anything related to this updated in the last months? | 12:46:48 |
 K900 | What NixOS channel are you on? | 12:49:39 |
| ecmacat | 22.11 | 12:54:14 |
| ecmacat | I am also using home-manager; disabling home-manager solves this so I assume it might be related to hm configuration... | 12:55:00 |
| ecmacat | Okay, rebuilt the wsl tarball from source and it worked | 14:01:25 |
| ecmacat | I actually downloaded the 22.05 tarball and tried to upgrade to 22.11, and something went wrong in the process. Building the latest commit and install 22.11 from scratch works. | 14:02:51 |
| ecmacat | * I actually downloaded the 22.05 tarball and tried to upgrade to 22.11 by extracting the latest commit into /etc/nixos/nixos-wsl, and something went wrong in the process. Building the latest commit and install 22.11 from scratch works. | 14:03:22 |

| K900 | I'm honestly not too sure how the installer tarballs work, I just have the config integrated in my flake | 14:16:24 |

 Sandro 🐧 | could be because of noXLibs maybe? | 15:03:33 |
| K900 | Didn't we disable that | 15:05:05 |
| Sandro 🐧 | maybe we didn't in the past | 15:09:15 |

I'm honestly not too sure how the installer tarballs work, I just have the config integrated in my flake It just does a fancy tar xz of the rootfs | 15:17:50 |
| Arson Copperflame | noXLibs has been removed some time after WSLg released | 15:18:24 |
| 17 Jan 2023 |
| ecmacat | I guess the documentation for NixOS-WSL is not quite complete? | 11:42:23 |
| K900 | What exactly are you missing? | 11:42:43 |
| ecmacat | For example, there's no explanation on the use of docker-native and docker-desktop | 11:42:46 |
| ecmacat | What's the difference between using docker-native and virtualisation.docker.enable | 11:43:10 |
| Arson Copperflame | docker-native is a wrapper around virtualisation.docker.enable that uses a patched docker derivation, because the original one will not work under WSL | 11:44:04 |
| Arson Copperflame | docker-desktop tries to set up a connection to Docker Desktop running on the Windows host, but it's a little flakey unfortunately | 11:45:54 |
