Yup, figuring out how to install gcc 10 was a pain. Turns out I needed stdenvgcc10, but how would I have known that without reading like the entirety of nix pills? I don't want to read a manual for 2 hours to figure out how to do something basic. Not to mention nix pills is SO dense that as someone who can't learn from textbooks, its impossible.
