If you do not want this, maybe to avoid CPU consumption for compilation, you can use `(setq native-comp-deferred-compilation nil)` to disable it while still enjoy the benefit of native compilation for packages from nixpkgs. @@ -113,7 +127,7 @@ In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the followin - [languagetool](https://languagetool.org/), a multilingual grammar, style, and spell checker.
