Hi all! I installed nvim and completed the tutorial. I have been using CLion, PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, and VSCode. I primarily use an Ubuntu OS. I am open to a different distro.

When I tried to configure VSCode to allow me to use C++, Python, Java, and Assembly on one IDE it became unstable. Can nvim handle that?

Where do I go to figure how to customize this thing? For example, I don’t know what I should be installing for basic linting (I’m still a student). Do I need different modules for each language? Any resources would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

    I might try out those suggestions as well. (The Lunarvim website really reminds me of Spacemacs). I’ve been trying a few times to get used to Neovim. An editor with the power and documentation of vim and a more “modern” community and support for Lua seems interesting.

    However, the last time I gave up after I it required a lot of configuration of plugins to set up autocomplete for Rust. In VS Code it is just a matter of installing the plugin using the already available plugin manager, but it would be nice to have some more flexible alternative. And after typing a few lines I often unintentionally press the Escape key.

    Do NvChad or Lunarvim come with a plugin manager where I can just install a package to add support for a language? It appears that both setups use a Lua config file. Does this make a difference for using vim plugins?

      Yes, with the lspconfig and mason, you can install language server with a friendly user interface. I think this video is perfect for u, the base is NvChad
