I love neovim

[catppuccin-macchiato-official]

Tokyo night ❤️❤️❤️

tokyo night looks quite pretty ^^

but it is almost catppuccin

looks really similar and has fewer ports

please consider switching :3

[neovim-official]

but it looks really good and with stylix i can style my whole system in tokyo night so who needs ports :3 (see https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/619d479b-4817-420f-8304-a7c7f79373a5 for an example)

[neovim-official]

Finally fixed!

Regression: race condition(?) in msgpack handling (from dc37c1550bed46fffbb677d343cdc5bc94056219) · Issue #31316 · neovim/neovim

Problem When sending very large completion lists to a GUI client that supports ext_popup with text input going at the same time, it's possib

[mybeanalgebra]

I use (neo)vim

I've been using arrow keys for navigation, and I decided I wanted to use hjkl instead

Someone on the internet had the idea to rebind those to jkil to make it easier to pick up

I decided I wanted to do something like that

I think I picked the most cursed option

Behold: English (US, intl., with dead keys, cursed edition)

Yes this is my keyboard layout

Yes I decided to edit xkb rather than my neovim configuration

Over the next few days we will find out what effect this has on my typing

[arenaconspiracy]

what kind of keyboard is that? it looks like a laptop membrane board but those,, did you take apart your entire laptop for this? for one bit of software?

[mybeanalgebra]

Yes it is a laptop keyboard. I just popped off the H, I, J, and K keys and put them back on. Also it's for one piece of software I use more often than any other.

[neovim-official]

This is horrifying

[neovim-official]

is there a reason to switch from vim to nvim? what’s the difference?

mainly plugins and the plugin ecosystem, you can write things for your editor in lua instead of vimscript

[rust-official-deactivated202605]

and also rust, you can write plugins in rust

[neovim-official]

the hatred i have for you can only be matched by my love for typescript

[neovim-official]

What do you think of Helix? NeoVim is becoming a tad same-y and I feel the grass must be greener elsewhere

who?

[distrochooser]

Reblog with your distrohopping journey.

[redstar-official]

ubuntu -> arch

[rubylang-official]

my computer: ubuntu -> arch -> back to windows -> debian dual boot -> just debian -> nixos -> I'm about to jump

my laptop: endeavor OS

[arch-official]

ubuntu->solus->mint->arch

idk, I might hop soon. I want to try something else

[somebodythatyallusedtoknow]

on school computer in a VM: Ubuntu -> Hannah Montana Linux -> back to Ubuntu as Hannah Montana linux was basically unusable with modern software

on my computer: Manjaro (for almost 2 years) -> Xero Linux -> Manjaro -> EndeavourOS

on my laptop: Mint -> Manjaro -> Arch btw -> Artix (KDE) -> Artix (GNOME) -> Artix (i3-vm) -> Artix (awesome WM) -> EndeavourOS

In a VM: too much to count, all i remember is I once had to delete like 120GBs of .iso files

@endeavouros-official feels like home at the moment. Also yes I count various DE/WM changes as a distrohop since the way you interact with the system changes so drastically.

[endeavouros-official]

Linux Mint -> Fedora -> OpenSUSE -> Arch Linux -> Debian -> Manjaro -> Pop!_OS -> Manjaro -> EndeavourOS

This is, like, from college to now tho so I'm probably forgetting some steps.

[magdalunaa]

I did Mint → Manjaro (which didn't work very well) → Windows 10 → Fedora (because i missed linux) → EndeavourOS

i also dualboot Haiku on top of that

[kde-plasma-official]

On my T440 before I got my PC: Windows → Ubuntu → Ubuntu Budgie → Linux Mint → Windows → Pop!_OS → Linux Mint → Arch Linux (BSPWM) → Windows → Manjaro → EndeavourOS → Arch (BSPWM + Plasma) → Arch (Hyprland) On my Dell Latitude E5420: Linux Mint → Xubuntu → Lubuntu → Ubuntu Server (as Nextcloud storage) → Lubuntu (but only need GParted really) When my PC replaced my T440: → Windows → Fedora → Fedora KDE Spin → Nobara → Windows + Arch → Windows → Arch (don't need to dualboot anymore because I can use Adobe stuff on my work macbook)

That's all over the last 7 years, my main PC is a year old now

[neovim-official]

mint -> manjaro(few months) -> debian -> arch -> fedora -> arch(around a year) -> nixos

You vex me almost as much as nano does. How do I use you

How do you know 👀, and can it solve sudoku?

I know because I learned how to write programs in it!

It can indeed solve sudoku!

I have an idea

[neovim-official]

I need more ideas on what to post here

[neovim-official]

Starting to make my first neovim plugin, wish me luck

[verynerdyelaine]

I made my Neovim config from scratch cus hell yea.

Neovim is an amazing text editor but very bare bones in the beginning. Because of this we all had to configure it at whatever measure we can. Some people choose to configure it from scratch while others aren't that willing to do that so they will choose to use a Neovim distribution (Not calling any names because they can be pretty cool). The latter is what i kinda have a problem with.

Should you take these opinions into face value?

Not at all, These opinions are from my own past experience with using these distributions. There are people who've had better experiences with using these distributions than what I've had.

Why do I hate Neovim distributions?

Neovim distributions can be a bit more of a chore to configure. There are 2 main reasons

Very Undocumented : Many Neovim distributions can be vague on how they present things on their wiki especially adding plugins (i use a lot of plugins) due to their unique directory structure. I broke a Neovim distribution trying to add a plugin.

Unoptimised for most : Neovim distributions do offer good plugins that are useful for most people but there are still plugins that aren't offered which can optimise the workflow for a number of people as well as circling back to our first reason It can be a pain in the ass to add plugins.

Should you make a config from scratch?

Making a config from scratch is one of the best ways to learn about the Neovim ecosystem enabling to have a grasp of how each plugin or configuration communicates in your Neovim workflow. Having a config from scratch is that you have a better understanding with plugins and you can add plugins on a whim. (That is just how I like configuring Neovim).

Should you use a Neovim distribution?

Surprisingly, Yes but only if you are starting to use Neovim. Neovim distributions are an amazing way to step into the wild world of minimal text editors like Neovim.

Another Final Thoughts

You should make a Neovim config from scratch unless you are a beginner then you should try a Neovim distribution out.
