Neovim Configuration

Help
1

Hey,

I was wondering as to what is the best way to setup neovim on Nixos.

I have looked at Nixvim and Nixcats, but they seem too complicated at the moment.

So far, I have set up flakes, home-manager, and with things being modular.

This is my neovim module:

{ config, pkgs, pkgs-unstable, lib, ... }:

{
    options = {
        neovim.enable = lib.mkEnableOption "enables neovim";
    };

    config = lib.mkIf config.neovim.enable {
        #home.packages = [ pkgs.wl-clipboard ];
        programs.neovim = {
            package = pkgs-unstable.neovim-unwrapped;
            enable = true;

            viAlias = true;
            vimAlias = true;
            vimdiffAlias = true;

            defaultEditor = true;
        };
    };
}

At the moment, it is not fully complete. But I was wondering as to what is the best way to make sure that I use the unstable branch of neovim, so far I am using neovim-unrapped, as I have tried to use neovim but I ended up getting an error.

  1. Is it a good idea to use neovim-unwrapped?
  2. What are the implications of an ‘unwrapped’ package?

Lastly, I also would like to pass in my old neovim configuration, which is just mainly based on kickstart.nvim.

  1. Would using home-manager to configure neovim be viable? As I have heard that installing LSP’s through mason doesn’t really work with NixOS.

Thanks.
