Release policy

[amitkot]

Hi 👋
I've been using LunarVim for over a year now and enjoying it greatly!
I switched from configuring NeoVim on my own and I find the choices and decisions implemented in LunarVim are a great fit for my needs.

I'm running LunarVim 1.3 and there have been many changes in the past couple of months (besides NeoVim minor versions, null-ls replaced by none-ls, etc.).

What is the release policy for LunarVim? If I want to use "relatively" up-to-date versions, do I have an option besides switching to Nightly?

Thanks 🙏
Amit

Hi, sorry for the late reply,
Since I moved to astronvim, there's no one actively working on lunarvim, so there probably won't be another release for quite a while (the pinned core plugins aren't being updated even on nighlty) I'd switch to nightly if I were you

For my part I use AstroNvim for a week now and the thing I dig the most is how actively it's maintained + how much choice you have with AstroCommunity. Everything in there is opt-in, you don't have to get all plugins if you don't need them. You can just check them out and enable them one by one and try them out like I did. This really helped me iterate on my config and make it truly my own.

Jumping on the bandwagon after reading this thread... it's fantastic how Astro offers many familiar features and keybinds. While there are some differences, they're incredibly user-friendly, so you might find yourself keeping them. The file structure reminds me a lot of a vanilla NeoVim setup, which is great, and the documentation is truly exceptional. It even allowed me to streamline my setup honestly! I'm still tinkering with it a bit to personalize things and make sure I'm only using the features I need. Overall, I'm super impressed and would definitely recommend it!

So, which distro is best for a newbie like me - AstroNvim, LazyVim, or NvChad? :-)

LostNeophyte Check out NormalNvim. Originally I forked it from AstroNvim to be more like what LunarVim was trying to achieve. But now it has many unique features.

Being a user of Lunarvim for 2+ years now and the only distro i have ever used and been comfortable with, i find it sad that you have decided to move on from lunarvim. And I also completely respect your decision to do so. However, I also hope that the other 303 contributors will keep making valuable contributions to this project.
