nvim VS dashboard-nvim

that get passed to a function to create them all. https://github.com/do-no-van/nvim/blob/main/lua/mappings.lua

If you simply want to change the startup text without any additional functionality, you can do this without a plugin. An example is my config (mainly lua/ascii_bg.lua). Basically it just calls a function that creates a new buffer and uses vim.api.nvim_set_lines to set the buffer contents on startup (see init.lua). The rest of it is just setting colors, centering the text, and setting some options like the colorcolumn to not interfere with the text. I can try answering any questions you might have about it as there isn't a lot of comments.

I try to setup plugin dashboard-nvim - https://github.com/nvimdev/dashboard-nvim - to have a startup page with recent project list.

It looks like LazyNvim uses dashboard-nvim. (Here's the code in LazyNvim that uses dashboard.)

Hi to everyone. I've literally just started using neovim, but from a couple of days I am struggling with dashboard-nvim customization. I know it is a dumb question (and I apologize in advance for this): I would like to change the first line in the next image, in order to display custom things.

You can use the dashboard.nvim to create a custom startup screen for Neovim. Check out my dashboard config for an example

I have used glepnir-dashboard in neovim. Is there any available Dashboard for vim?

There's also https://github.com/glepnir/dashboard-nvim

glepnir/dashboard-nvim: vim dashboard (github.com) - at a36b32 btw, too lazy to upgrade :P

dashboard-nvim

So I have been looking at goolord/alpha-nvim and glepnir/dashboard-nvim for the startup screen. However, I often do nvim . when working so the startup screen is the directory tree (I use kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua) The start-up screen in the directory tree looks like this.
