@k900:0upti.meK900That's not really a WSL issue05:46:22
@k900:0upti.meK900 If you have specific questions, feel free to ask here or in #Nix / NixOS 05:46:34
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)The docs for most NisOS things do unfortunately leave a lot to be desired05:46:43
@balanced_design:matrix.orgbalanced_designIs this really supposed to be what I do? Ask detailed questions each step of the way?05:57:54
@k900:0upti.meK900I mean05:58:12
@k900:0upti.meK900"Supposed to"? Probably not05:58:16
@k900:0upti.meK900But the docs aren't great05:58:23
@k900:0upti.meK900And that's not something you can really fix in a day05:58:35
@k900:0upti.meK900And by asking questions you'll hopefully learn how to find answers yourself05:58:47
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)Without knowing where you're stuck right now, some general advice I can give you: Once you get the hang of the syntax and nix itself, you can get by with https://search.nixos.org pretty well for most things. Other than that, try to read and understand code others wrote that does something similar to what you need (don't just copy/paste that blindly, try playing around with it a bit)06:01:27
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)The search also links to the file where the option you're looking at is defined. That can help you understand what happpens in the background06:02:33
