Since roughly September 2022 with the release of WSL 0.67.6!
replyHave you actually attempted to use it recently? Are you familiar with the WSL1 bugs that surface when running random Linux distros?
reply(To be clear, I haven't tried this with Nix, but I have with other distros.)
Fair question! Nope. I'm not endorsing it, and certainly don't know (or even suspect) it would solve this issue. I just recently installed NixOS and was surprised to see Windows mentioned on the downloads page, so looked into it a bit. Maybe soon.
replyOkay well, if you do, good luck with glibc (and likely other) issues. WSL1 feels kind of dead unfortunately, neither Windows wants to support newer Linux syscalls nor do Linux projects seem to care for including fallbacks.
replyLet me paraphrase: nix FOR windows
