dotfiles VS LunarVim

Here is an example configuration in NvChad.

https://github.com/siduck/dotfiles , its bspwm

polybar config https://github.com/siduck/dotfiles/tree/master/polybar/polybar

As the title says, I'd like some way to see how many apt updates are available just like the BSPWM screenshots in this repo: https://github.com/siduck/dotfiles/. Does this exist?

Thankfully he made his dotfiles public so you can check them out here https://github.com/siduck76/dotfiles

Looks like the author is running BSPWM, their configuration (in their dotfiles repo) is available here: https://github.com/siduck76/dotfiles/blob/master/thinkpad/bs...

I use GNU / Void Linux with bspwm , my dotfiles https://github.com/siduck76/dotfiles

There are tons of cool lua plugins for neovim , and you can configure them mostly with lua and adding their large configs in my init.vim file made my config more messier , my old config https://github.com/siduck76/dotfiles/blob/master/nvim_confs/sidark/init.vim

LunarVim

I would suggest to start getting into vim by first trying out popular vim keybinding plugins available on your favorite code editor and get used to those first. Then, if you want to dive deeper into the power of Neovim, try out popular configs like LazyVim, LunarVim, NvChad... Taking Neovim from a mere text editor to a full-featured IDE with features like intellisense, debugging, testing, etc... on your own takes quite a lot of work and configuration.

I used Helix for a while due to its support for LSP out-of-the-box, which my Vim config at the time couldn't live up to. I switched back to NeoVim after finding LunarVim[1] which had everything I was trying to get setup in my own config.

I'll admit I didn't look into it, but Helix sounds like something like LunarVim (https://www.lunarvim.org/)

Personally I much prefer that the editor NOT ship with something like that by default, especially when it's so easy to set up. I have several different vim config I use, including a pretty bare-bones one for headless systems, and I much prefer the ability to customize something very specifically.

Build tools that can compose together, rather than a single do-it-all tool. That is the power of the low level editors vs IDE's.

I can't comment on any implementation details, but at least with LunarVim (which I use for daily coding), a slowdown when interacting with LSP is very noticeable. Some others have attested to this on a GitHub issue.

I'm not doubting your experiences with the lack of a slowdown, but there is truth that others do experience it. That might be more of a problem with LunarVim itself rather than Vim, but how likely am I (as someone who would like to avoid what he calls "config hell") or other newcomers to avoid whatever pitfalls there are, if a distribution designed for ease of use by people who know better fall into them?

Anyways, although i have not used them, LazyVim and LunarVim comes highly recommended. You can try these and see what suits you .
