Hello everyone, I just found out that it's possible to use NixOS on WSL. But I'm wondering if it really works properly so please let me know if you've used it. Would help a lot!

Btw this is the video that talks about it: https://youtu.be/UmRXXYxq8k4?si=8LAY__35DiVlwZY7

I also tried installing nixOS in wsl, but found wsl combined with read only config files didn't work well. I just run standalone nix on Ubuntu now, works great

Pretty sure this is just nix (the package manager) not NixOS the distribution
