Out of all the premade Neovim configurations, I think Astronvim is the best but you really need to try them all.

[@johanngambolputty5351]

I hate the idea of just memorising random stuff, that's whats put me off trying nvim for a long time, but only just realised that, to begin with you can absolutely get away with just knowing how to switch between modes, exist and save, the stuff in vimtutor is nice but I don't know why I felt like I had to graduate it, you can gradually add more commands to your repertoire as needed. Also having an easy to pull up integrated cheat sheet (which you can search through for what you want...) is super nice (like in nvim with space+ch). It's been surprising how much of what I have been doing in vscodium I can still do in nvim with nvchad out of the box, without even that much learning. Not really using any vim movements yet, but I feel like I need to first reach parity with my old workflow, I mostly want faster opening times and less of what microsoft has touched.

Hi Titus, maintainer of LazyVim here. Those treesitter errors are not really normal. What Neovim version are you using? `nvim --version` Did you do anything special to fix those initiall ERRORs you saw in checkhealth?

[@fathulfahmy]

are you the folke?!

[@equu497]

Hey Folke, I have been getting the same treesitter errors as well. Windows 11, powershell user

[@no-prophet]

I tried a few of nvim distros, astro, lunar, lazy, and I settled with nvchad, it has rather sensible defaults, needed very little configuring, and it suits my workflow perfectly. I don't use windows at all anymore, so I don't know if it works on it.

[@Redyf]

I've tried most of the popular neovim configs but LunarVim works the best for me, don't get me wrong tho. Every single one of them is amazing but it's just personal preference. Use what works best for you, vim or not.

[@douglascoburn]

Chris Titus says - "I want a vim that's not just focused on linux." Me - Not seeing the problem. 😁

[@YannMetalhead]

Good video.

[@casadogaspar]

Using vim is like playing a puzzle memory game while working, it's not even about productivity for me. The fact that I need to have fast thought and memorize many options and apply then on demand make my work as developer more entertaining

[@ernestodelgato930]

Ngl Same but I have to try a new plug-in once a while after everything becomes muscles memory lol

[@Nitiiii11]

Lunarvim for me. Loving it. It uses Lazygit too, honestly by far the best git tool I have used so far, so smooth and fast.

[@distant6606]

Lunarvim is best for me in linux, but doesnt work on windows. I used to use astronvim until i found lazyvim ,and i honestly love the workflow and appearance.

[@Kritiqual]

How about nvim-lazyman?

[@Bagginsess]

What program are you using for the little characters walking at the bottom of the screen?

[@TitusTechTalk]

Stream Avatars - Those are subscribers to my twitch channel, when they chat a bubble will pop up. I'm working on making them disappear when they aren't talking and then appear when they are.

[@Bagginsess]

@@TitusTechTalk gotcha

[@StaffyDoo]

Hey Chris, what is the prompt theme you’re using there?

[@PhilipWarton]

looks like powerlevel10k

[@ghosthunter0950]

Looks like a whole plugin for it rather than just theme. I personally like starship.

[@johnpaulviado7523]

How did he configure his powershell like that? Any tutorials I can search? Thanks

[@TitusTechTalk]

Did a video called "Pretty Powershell" here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqakmqOFjJ11hLMsi=FtojXlmuFh6-4vy2

[@johnpaulviado7523]

@@TitusTechTalk Thank youu!

[@RafaCoringaProducoes]

laziest vim for begginer linux users with the windows notepad shortkeys: micro text editor in the terminal, found it with distrotube

[@scientiac]

How do you just make a video about what I just did. Whenever you make a linux video, it'll be the thing I just did.😊

[@tanmaypanadi1414]

great minds i guess

[@chyldstudios]

I use LazyVIM

[@ridiculoushot3691]

Thumbs up for lunarvim user here 👇

[@alex146]

It looks like emacs

[@EliandroViana-ty3hl]

LazyVim is nice, but i has been some errors, LSP[ruby_ls]: Error INVALID_SERVER_MESSAGE: { jsonrpc = "2.0" }
