K900 | That's not really a WSL issue | 05:46:22 |
K900 | If you have specific questions, feel free to ask here or in #Nix / NixOS | 05:46:34 |
nzbr (they/it) | The docs for most NisOS things do unfortunately leave a lot to be desired | 05:46:43 |
balanced_design | Is this really supposed to be what I do? Ask detailed questions each step of the way? | 05:57:54 |
K900 | I mean | 05:58:12 |
K900 | "Supposed to"? Probably not | 05:58:16 |
K900 | But the docs aren't great | 05:58:23 |
K900 | And that's not something you can really fix in a day | 05:58:35 |
K900 | And by asking questions you'll hopefully learn how to find answers yourself | 05:58:47 |
nzbr (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 (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 background | 06:02:33 |
