ArchWSL is a pre-configured Arch Linux distribution designed to run within the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It provides a method for deploying a functional Linux environment through root filesystem bootstrapping via application packages or zip archives. The project includes a dedicated instance manager for backing up, restoring, and managing multiple isolated Linux environment instances. It also features a compatibility patch for the standard C library and core system libraries to ensure software runs on older kernel versions. The system covers service management through native or emulated s
This project provides a remote development extension pack and infrastructure for bootstrapping isolated toolchains and runtimes. It enables a system for opening folders and executing code across SSH hosts, Docker containers, and the Windows Subsystem for Linux. The system utilizes a client-server split architecture to separate the user interface from the extension host and language servers. It features a secure connection layer for SSH remote editing, a bridge for WSL integration, and a remote port forwarding tool to tunnel network traffic from remote environments to a local machine. The pro
This project provides a functional package manager and a reproducible build system designed to ensure identical build inputs always produce the same outputs. It serves as the foundation for a declarative Linux distribution where the entire system state is defined in a configuration file, enabling predictable deployments and full-system rollbacks. The system uses a deterministic functional language and a lazy-evaluation expression engine to manage software dependencies and isolate build environments. It distinguishes itself through a content-addressable store that allows multiple versions of s
nix-darwin is a declarative system configuration tool for macOS that uses the Nix package manager to define and manage the entire system state—including users, services, networking, and security—through a single reproducible Nix expression. It integrates Nix’s purely functional package model to install, update, and remove software, supporting multiple versions and atomic rollbacks. The tool composes system configuration from modular, typed, overridable options. It evaluates these Nix expressions to produce an immutable description of the desired state, then generates activation scripts that a
NixOS-WSL packages a complete NixOS system into a WSL-compatible tarball that Windows registers as a native distribution, enabling declarative configuration and lifecycle management for NixOS as a Windows Subsystem for Linux instance. The project boots NixOS with systemd as the init system inside WSL, providing full service management and dependency-based startup, while exposing the NixOS filesystem and executables to Windows through WSL's interop mechanism for…
