With the downside of not having the option to select a Linux distro and being locked to the nixpkgs repositories?
- alecthomas 4y agoNo, it uses native Nix directly on your machine - Linux, Mac, or Windows. Its integration with Docker is that it can _build_ Docker images from the Nix packages in your "devbox".
- Foxboron 4y agoIt's the same abstraction layer though. The implementation for all three is bound to be different.
- shirogane86x 4y agoI'm assuming for windows it only works in WSL2? cause last time I checked nix wasn't compatible with native windows development, sadly
- alecthomas 4y agoYeah I assume so too, but I'm not sure.
- ParetoOptimal 4y agoNative windows support is or at least was being worked on. Wsl/nix should work.
