I love the looks of Neovim in Devsalife's videos. But It's pretty hard for me to follow him since he doesn't talk in most videos. And me trying to use neovim ( And I faced a lot of troubles) which makes me pretty hopeless on using neovim.
I practised neovim enough in VSCode. Now I want to switch to neovim. But it's configuration is too hard ( espcially with Lua ). So I just wanted the fastest way ( which is to copy people's config and use it immedietly, which is Devslife here)
Do you guys have any idea to do this on Windows ? I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, there is no short path to getting a beautiful Neovim UI. You should understand each line of your configurations.
Of course, someone can create a guide with a full setup, from how to install Neovim, and set up Plugins and dependencies but I haven't found anyone who does it yet. I'm trying to write a detail guide but it hasn't finished so I can't share it now.
However, I can tell you some steps to create a Neovim configuration yourself:
- Install Neovim, of course
- Install a packet manager (Packer, Vim plug) and learn how to use it
- Theme (gruvbox, dracula): make your Neovim look good first
- File explorer (nerdtree)
- For coding
- LSP (nvim-lspconfig): for autocompletion, diagnostic,..
- Format code (neoformat): format your code based on the convention
- Other
- Vim features
- Folding (foldmethod)
- Spell checking
- Icon for files (vim-devicons)
- Find files (telescope.nvim)
- Git manager (vim-fugitive)
- Beautify the tabline (lualine.nvim)
- Surround fast action (vim-surround)
- Vim features
If you have any specific problem while setting up your Neovim, Stackoverflow is available
