  • home-manager-wsl

    Discontinued WSL distribution, including Nix + Home-manager + FHS Distro

    • I am fetching Alpine as a FOD, what wouldn't be reproducible about that? https://github.com/viperML/home-manager-wsl/blob/master/distros/alpine/generated.nix

  • NixOS-WSL

    NixOS on WSL(2) [maintainer=@nzbr]

    • This project began as I didn't like that NixOS-WSL used systemd in the background, so I made this for myself. Some of the advantages: faster boot time, smaller image size and a FHS distro in the background, that lets you load dynamically linked binaries (for example, to have VSCode remote working OOTB).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
