"I choose to install things natively" love that. Great approach, it could be overwhelming at the beginning.

[rlativ]

All you need to do to have neovim show up in rofi, in the file manager, the list of applications, etc., is to have a .desktop file for it.

[donaldwilliams]

Another great video. There is also neovide (not in deb repo) That is a full graphical wrapper for your neovim config. You do need neovim installed. Has some nice features

[lqlarry]

Nvim: So many plugins, so little time.

[donaldwilliams]

Side note: If someone has an existing neovim config then need to rename ~/.config/nvim but also ~/local/share;nvim and ~/.local/state/nvim Plugins and other config files are there. Which could interfere with your new config of neovim The lazyvim github page has more info and some commands on how to do it

[donaldwilliams]

I do like your config I like the pop up window for telescope

When I was on Debian, I just downloaded and ran the binary directly. To update, just delete the binary folder and repeat the process with the new release. I don't know if it integrates in file managers and rofi and the like, because I just run it from the terminal.

I have taken parts of your install script and added the following so that I can chose the testing/unstable releases on the fly when I install otherwise it is default stable NOTE: link in the policy section for more While getting familiar with NVIM, I have been playing with DOOM EMACS and I almost think I like DOOM EMACS just as much, if not a little bit better but still playing with both

# If you are going to use other repos then you will want to prioritize them for updates and upgrades
# These will be for your normal distro stable releases and updates
echo -e "Package: *\nPin: release a=stable\nPin-Priority: 990\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences
echo -e "Package: *\nPin: release 990\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences
echo -e "Package: *\nPin: release 990\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences

# This will be for testing repos which will have lower priority than stable and will not overwrite stable unless you specify it to
echo -e "Package: *\nPin: release a=testing\nPin-Priority: 500\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences

# This will be for unstable repos which will have lower priority than testing and will not overwrite anything unless you specify it to
echo -e "Package: *\nPin: release a=unstable\nPin-Priority: 10\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences
sudo apt update

# to confirm above priroty changes took ffect do the following command
sudo apt policy

# This is a less effective option to setting the default repo
# echo -e 'APT::Default-Release "stable";' | sudo tee -a
sudo apt upgrade -y

# if you want to do all testing then use the following otherwise leave off the "-t testing" same would apply to unstalbe "-t unstable"
#sudo apt update -t testing
#sudo apt upgrade -t testing -y
#sudo apt update -t unstable
#sudo apt upgrade -t unstable -y

Hi drew just installed DWM using your scripts really enjoying it, can you make video on theming qt apps gtk apps are so easy to customize using nwg looks

[liquidmobius]

You should do hypr wm. It's made by the same developer of hyprland except for X11 and I'm fairly certain it runs on Debian stable. Surprised more people don't know about it. It's definitely a better alternative than running Trixie/Sid just for hyprland for those of us who use stable.

[edbeckerich]

Pick out a new TWM to try, set aside all other editors, and only use Vim/NeoVim, and proficiency will build up fast! That made me a Vim user, but stll so much i dont remember! I need a cheat sheet!

[theDevPanda]

Flatpak is hard to update? "flatpak update" is about as easy as apt/nala

[jordicarsan_foto]

Don' you like vim? Do you prefer neovim?

[NatesRandomVideo]

I just can’t get excited about neovim as an almost lifelong vim user professionally. Seems overhyped.
