Hi all! I installed nvim and completed the tutorial. I have been using CLion, PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, and VSCode. I primarily use an Ubuntu OS. I am open to a different distro.

When I tried to configure VSCode to allow me to use C++, Python, Java, and Assembly on one IDE it became unstable. Can nvim handle that?

Where do I go to figure how to customize this thing? For example, I don't know what I should be installing for basic linting (I'm still a student). Do I need different modules for each language? Any resources would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

In addition to the others mentioned, I highly recommend trying out AstroNvim! It's got a great set of defaults, based on lazy.nvim, and it's easy to modify and extend.

I also do recommend taking the time to write your own config from scratch... even if you end up scrapping it just to use one of the pre-made configs, it's worth it to learn how vim works. And you'll quickly discover you have a new hobby in life... configuring your text editor.

Thank you! I'm very much into personalizing my tools. I've spent an embarrassing amount of time playing with Linux. I started to write my own configuration, but I quickly became lost in the lists of options. I wasn't sure what was really necessary or which plugin was doing what.
