Pi 0 should be 32-bit, but I suppose this channel is still the closest one.

Taneb: pi zero is armv6l? it's going to be a major slog
<Taneb>
exarkun: it's not the end of the world for me to either not use NixOS or to go out and get a Pi 3 or 4 (I'm probably in the city where it's easiest to buy a raspberry pi)
<exarkun>
armv7l and aarch64 should be a lot easier
<exarkun>
there is no up-to-date binary cache for armv6l so you get to build stuff for yourself
<exarkun>
which either takes forever for is just impossible due to memory constraints
<exarkun>
(unless you have an armv6l build farm hanging out)

<exarkun>
armv7l is easier to emulate and systems are faster and easier to rent
<exarkun>
and there is an official binary cache for aarch64
<Taneb>
Well, it will be an adventure :)

Or I go to the raspberry pi shop this weekend
<timokau[m]>
Note that (I think) rpi4 is not supported yet
<t184256>
While I can reopen, I don't really have good arguments for trusting me =)
<gchristensen>
aye, sorry, I wish there was a easy way to do it anyway
<t184256>
So, IDK, meet me at NixCon and make a decision later?
<t184256>
I'm going to make a lightning talk on Nix-on-Droid, if that helps.
<gchristensen>
col
<gchristensen>
cool
<gchristensen>
that would be great!
<t184256>
Anyway, this is not critical to me, just a nice-to-have

what's nix-on-droid
<DigitalKiwi>
needs a better website but otherwise looks neat
<DigitalKiwi>
does it work on android 6.0?
<DigitalKiwi>
t184256: ^
<t184256>
DigitalKiwi: if it's aarch64, it should
<t184256>
If it's not, then it won't =(

nexus 5
<t184256>
It's just nix executed with proot on Android. Nix is basically a rootfs by itself
<DigitalKiwi>
snapdragon 800
<t184256>
Sorry, snapdragon 800 is 32 bit
<DigitalKiwi>
:<
<t184256>
But if somebody builds nix for 32 bit arm the way it is built for aarch64, I can make it work
<t184256>
Though, without a binary cache, it will be a pain to build everything
<t184256>
I just caved in and bought an aarch64 tablet =/
<samueldr>
t184256: note of caution, some aarch64-cpu devices will ship with 32 bit userlands
<samueldr>
even still up to this year
<samueldr>
I think with android 10 it'll be forced to be aarch64 userlands
<samueldr>
one example I know (the only I have personal experience with) is morotola addison / Moto Z Play, which has a Snapdragon 625, but 32 bit userland
<samueldr>
I don't know of actual useful source of info for a listing of these terrible devices
<samueldr>
only that they exist and it's annoying
<samueldr>
I guess for those (once) supported by lineageos you know by their device page
