Neovim by kickstart.nvim on WSL2 Ubuntu

[ neovim wsl2 linux ]

I’ve been using vi for decades, since I first touched UNIX 30 years ago. For now, neovim is the best modern reincarnation of it.

There is very popular approach to start with it. kickstart.nvim Actually, there is just a configuration file with settings and the set of the plugins to install on first run.

Neovim version from the package manager is outdated. kickstart.nvim doesn’t support it. You better install latest neovim version from unstable PPA, as it’s described in README.

The problem is that it doesn’t work in case of WSL2 on Windows. One more problem with Windows. On first run, lazy plugin manager can’t install and build all the plugins. To pass it, I just built neovim from sources.
