From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nvchad is a ready made neovim config, that can be extended, not just a plugin.

For me personally, it doesnt load my configs. So better use appimage

does appimage get added to the bottom left app menu? it doesnt for me

No, you'd have to add a desktop file

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

and how do you do that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

You can use this desktop file.

Add desktop files like this. Be encouraged to search the web for solutions on your own :)

is the appimage really not an option? I think if you did what the original comment told you it should work.

I never used neovim so I'm not so familiar with the functionalities/terms. I was torn between writing plugin or config, but I thought a plugin would be more relevant. I'm assuming a plugin can change more than a config could.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

The config for modern neovim users mainly consists of plugins and configs for plugins.
