Anyone using a Neovim distribution? Which one?
Been using LunarVim which seems discontinued and started to break recently. Probably moving to SpaceVim soon. Other distro's being used here?
Look into kickstart.nvim . It's not a distribution but I think it will help you. Also after cloning the repo look up the video by tjdev(he is a maintainer on neovim).Or don't all config are self explanatory. There is twice the amount of comments than actual code.
I use LazyVim and I really like it. It doesn't try to force too much abstractions on you. It's basically a bunch of Lazy.nvim configs that you can easily modify without having to overwrite them as a whole. I also really like LazyVim's extras - preconfigured plugins disabled by default, but enablable via single item in config, or through TUI.
I just use the lazy plugin manager (not to be confused with lazyvim) to set up a few plugins for my environment. I followed this guide and just chose only the plugins and configuration that I like. I've used vim for over 15 years now but have only used plugins for the past 2-ish years, so I don't like it when distributions mess up existing keybindings and other default behaviors. Lazy makes it very easy to set up your own environment and I was able to learn how to do it in a relatively short time with some guides and tutorials.
It's not for the faint of heart, but for me, I think the personal customizability is worth it, as well as not having plugins installed that I don't want/need. A lot of the time, they're more modern, but they would also require unlearning my existing habits and learning new ones, which I would rather not do, so I prefer doing it this way.
But I will say that it can be helpful to look at existing distributions to see how they implemented configurations when I run into trouble with my own configurations. Sometimes I'll steal their keybindings and maybe adjust them to my own preferences. It's also a great way to explore new functionality and configuration options as well.
LazyVim. Didn't have time to do everything manually when I wanted to cut over from regular vim. I have quite a few customizations on top, but its a pretty solid base. I use with neovim nightly via nixos.
i use lazyvim every day. it just works and i'm, well, too lazy to configure nvim myself.
I really like Astronvim. Used it a lot at work.
Me too. I had a better experience across (old) distros compared to Lazyvim. So, work had me switch. Also, wasn't the mantainer of lazyvim who said that they had migrated to astro?
Why not consider building one yourself "just for yourself"
