The failure is from the time-compat package, you should probably report the issue there instead.

Yes you can get around this buy having a cache or something that you can pull from instead of compiling from scratch. The time resolution just isn't high enough in WSL (maybe in the WSL2 on windows 11 with gpu support?)

[AlexKnauth]

How would I install nix-thunk using a cache instead of compiling on WSL?

I'm currently using WSL2 on Windows 10.

I also opened an issue on time-compat here: haskellari/time-compat#31
