config generation for nvim on windows.

[tincotema]

Hi,

so here is my problem:
On all my personal systems i run nixos wiht nixvim as my main (and only) editor.
At work i HAVE to work on Windows 10 due to some enterprice software that only works in windows.
I would realy like to be able to still use Nvim on that windows machine, but i would like to avoid the work of having to maintain two configs.

thus the questions is:
is there a elegant (and preverable easy) way of extracting the compleat config, with plugins from the nixvim config to install it on a windows machine?

Nix is not available for windows yet, you could use NixOS-WSL to have your configuration, also nix can export your config to a docker container using nixos-generators and maybe it will be more interesting.

I don't know how you have your configuration, but personally what this guy did in his config is genius, he gave me the idea of being able to build each application in the apps folder as a docker image and run it wherever you want.

Unfortunately I am only proposing ideas, but this is what I want to do in my config precisely because of a similar problem.

I don't have a lot more to add on top of @SergioRibera's answer.
If installing and using WSL is feasible on your windows system, then I think that it is the best option. (You can use NixOS-WSL for that).
If you have to use the windows version of neovim, then most of what nixvim does (plugin and dependency installation) makes no sense (except the generation of the init.lua of course).

Right, I forgot to add the link to NixOS-WSL, thank you very much
