Shameless plug for a setup that uses -u and all the config that has to go with it
Current best way to creating a portable nvim "bundle"?
1 project | /r/neovim | 26 Mar 2023

Anyways I see that there is https://github.com/RoryNesbitt/pvim but I don't know if it has much traction or if there are problems. I'm not too familiar with what AppImages are. If anyone could let me know what the easiest way to create a portable version of my nvim setup that I can just drop on a remote machine that would be great.

Latest version on Debian stable with updates
2 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Dec 2023

That depends on the debian stable repo what version of Neovim they provide. My suggestion would be to check out bob, which as far as I'm concerned it's the easiest way of installing Neovim and gives you the ability to switch between stable and nightly.
Having performance issues with neovim. Could that be because I installed it trough snap?

Sharing neovim settup

Config details: 0. Distribution: AlmaLinux 9 (what I'm forced to use at work) 1. Also requires: git, curl, clang, rustup, fzf 2. neovim version manager: https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob 3. I'd like to use the LazyVim setup 4. using an nvims() shell function to switch between setups (default & LazyVim, for now) (see https://gist.github.com/elijahmanor/b279553c0132bfad7eae23e34ceb593b)

If you want to peek at it now, you could try a neovim version manager like bob... https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob I've been using it recently and it makes experimenting with new stuff a bit easier. Then if you run into issues you can switch back to a stable release. I'm considering doing a video on this too since I think it would be helpful to some... and I don't think it's very well known
