Hello guix,
Even since the WSL image was pushed to master branch, I've been spending
time experimenting with it. It almost runs smoothly, unless two points:
1. when logged in, there is a warning says:
> warning: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR doesn't exists, on-first-login script won't
execute anything. You can check if xdg runtime directory exists,
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable is set to appropriate value and manually
execute the script by running '$HOME/.guix-home/on-first-login'
The value of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is /run/user/$UID, and the /run/user
directory is empty. I believe the /run directory is created on WSL's
side, and there is a step remounting it[1].
This also makes home shepherd services unusable. Although I could
manually create the directory, perhaps it's better if we could just do
the work within `wsl-boot-program', a wrapper for the login shell to
work properly on WSL.
2. WSLg is usable, but the mesa in guix repo doesn't build with d3d12
gallium driver[2]. So when opening up a GUI software in guix on WSL, in
renders through llvmpipe (using CPU not GPU).
I'm not sure if building mesa with d3d12 driver enabled by default is a
good idea, or maybe we could create a new package?
