LnL: I think RosaCtrl could help you with the errors and documentation around the installation issue, she was offering to write a guide on how to do it as-is today, and I thought maybe she could skip a lot of that and start from where you are now
<RosaCtrl>
Hi!
<LnL>
that would be great!
<RosaCtrl>
I though it would be nice to have a guide detailing the different ways to install Nix manually on Catalina
<RosaCtrl>
My knowledge on the issue though is limited to what was explained in the GitHub issue. I don't know if there are other ways to do it
<plumm>
Is it not just
<plumm>
1. create apfs volume, vim /etc/synthetic.conf and then vifs the apfs uuid?
<RosaCtrl>
From top of my head I remember two ways: one using an encrypted volume and another using a symlink. Both have shortcomings. I remember a third one that allowed to decrypt the volume before the user logs in
<LnL>
if you're adversed to docbook, I'm happy to build an updated version of those and do the translation of the edits
<RosaCtrl>
Nah, I can do it. I'll read the log of the channel. The PR looks like what I have in mind
<gchristensen>
thank you a lot RosaCtrl, LnL :D
<RosaCtrl>
I'll look at this during the weekend. I'm still on my working hours here 😅

RosaCtrl LnL I've picked at part of this a little this week, but it's been a busy week and I haven't had many spare neurons to rub together; I'll try to make sure I've got mine at least posted/shared somewhere even if I don't think it's complete
<abathur>
I've mostly been trying to focus on proposing a golden path (though I've also done some reorg and line edits elsewhere)--so there might not be much direct overlap between my edits and a broader guide
