NOTE: Please review the github.com/drewgrif/nvim/blob/main/README.md for Installation notes.
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.
"I choose to install things natively" love that. Great approach, it could be overwhelming at the beginning.
Agreed. My only personal exception is DoubleCommander... because for some weird reason the native version just would not behave well the last time I tried it. Now... I can't remember the specifics, but it was enough to make me go the AppImage route. I make up for it by routinely compiling Emacs, I guess. 😉
Nvim: So many plugins, so little time.
that's why I find Helix awesome
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
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
I do like your config I like the pop up window for telescope
I switched to Helix, which is vi/vim/nvim written in Rust. My coreutils will eventually be replaced with the Rust coreutils. I'm using Sky WM based on the penrose library, written in Rust, slightly modified. Has a very minimalistic i3/Sway feel to it. C/C++ is just way too buggy and I think it's time we educated ourselves on the advantages Rust brings and raise a new generation of Linux users who are knowledgeable about the software they use.
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.
Now I want to watch your micro vid

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.
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
Flatpak is hard to update? "flatpak update" is about as easy as apt/nala
I use nano for everything.
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 info......... 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: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 990
" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences
echo -e "Package: *
Pin: release a=stable-security
Pin-Priority: 990
" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/preferences
echo -e "Package: *
Pin: release a=stable-updates
Pin-Priority: 990
" | 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: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 500

# This will be for unstable repos which will have lower priority than testing and will not overwrite anything unless you specify it to

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

sudo apt policy

# echo -e 'APT::Default-Release "stable";' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/my-default-release
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
Holy crap Scott. Talk about documentation. I did one vid during bullseye that demonstrated pinning. The goal was to pin just the testing branch kernel.
@@JustAGuyLinux HAHA yeah sometimes I hate when I can't remember the reason I did something the way I did but I appreciate your vids on install scripts and some people just want to have a choice for specific installs that are only available in unstable and this allows it without having to make some changes to file later.... you can just chose on the fly this way.... Hope you keep up the great vids
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!
I just can’t get excited about neovim as an almost lifelong vim user professionally. Seems overhyped.
It's technically a better Vim currently due to the community rather than the concept alone, though the concept has pushed for some incredible things that I think would make doing similar in Vim highly strenuous from what I've observed. What exactly do you feel is overhyped about it, or what dislikes of Neovim do you have?
