/mnt/wslg/runtime-diris owned by user ID 1000, as noted in this post, which is always the first user created on the system. I changed myconfiguration.nixto use a different user name by using the provideddefaultUserparameter. However, on rebuild, this causes NixOS to create an entirely new user with ID 1001, which then causes strange behavior with wslg, because programs like emacs will emit errors like:This is because they can't write to
runtime-dir. The fix for this is easy: simply force the default user to have ID 1000, which fixes the problem.
