awesome-neovim VS lualine.nvim

I started here: Awesome Neovim, it has a huge list of nice things to use for your own setup. I watched a few tutorials on youtube to know with which plugins to start.

Im an emacs convert, and recently started doing my own configs from scratch. this is where i look up plugins: https://github.com/rockerBOO/awesome-neovim

If you need plugins check out these websites. Awesome Neovim. and Neovimcraft.

There's overseer.nvim to run all sorts of things and neotest to run tests. In general, you can check awesome-neovim or TWiN to look for plugins.

Plus, you can take a look at awesome-neovim or neovimcraft for plugins that you may want to use. Lastly, you can also look at my config for some reference/guide. Hope it helps.

Since you're already familiar with gvim it probably shouldn't be too hard to get Neovim set up! The configurations of vim vs neovim are mostly the same, unless you want to configure with lua. You'll just have to move your vimrc to ~/.config/nvim/init.vim. You can probably find some excellent configuration tutorials on youtube. I'd highly recommend checking out Awesome Neovim for good plugins if you want to get an IDE-like experience. I personally use packer.nvim to manage my plugins, nerdtree for file browsing, coc.nvim for autocomplete, and ale for code linting. Good luck switching if you decide to do so!

For reference color schemes I decided to go through awesome-neovim and pick top 5 Lua implemented color schemes with most stars. Here is the final list (as of 2023-04-20):

There are some plugins that provide container support Checkout the remote development section of the awesome-neovim repo, there are a handful of plugins built specifically to interact with docker.

Lualine is in a pretty similar situation. There is no activity since 05/27 and there is a fork with 32 commits waiting to be accepted.

In lualine you can have extentions . Extention confuguration is similar to normal configuration except you get to chose which filetypes to display that for . You can put extention files in your config usually ~/.config/nvim/lua/lualine/extensions folder and load them in your config :)
