Problem installing on NixOS on WSL-2

[mwoodpatrick]

In added this to my NixOS flake running on WSL-2. It looks like I needed to add "--enable-unsafe-swiftshader" based on the errors messages I got when I started claude-desktop without that flag.

Running:

claude-desktop --enable-unsafe-swiftshader
I get

LaunchProcess: failed to execvp:
xdg-settings
getWindowArguments []
App is not installed, not enabling auto-updates

@mwoodpatrick this is a GUI application. I haven't used WSL but unless the have added support for graphical installations this is as far as you'll get

Unfortunately I'm not sure what the cause is (I haven't used WSL with GUI applications before) however WSL-G, which gives graphical abilities to WSL, does exist: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg
