I'm not sure I'm the right person to ask (my learning path has been pretty unconventional) but really basic lua scripting would have helped me. I'm at the beginner stage where too many things don't make sense, but I just keep attacking from different angles and now some things are starting to click. It just takes time.

The README seems fine to me; I'm just overwhelmed with what I don't know. I'm getting there but it's an agonizingly slow process. Fyi... I was able to install kickstart.nvim properly and it works, but it will take me awhile to figure out what is what. Thanks!

I think I already answered my own question - I just need to learn lua really well, and then start over from scratch. Being a total rookie, I have been experiencing endless catch-22's and rabbit holes. If you can't sort the simplest fundamentals, then everything is a black box until you learn what's under the hood. That's why I chose vim/neovim over vscode. Kickstart should be good when I learn how to configure it. Thanks!

I installed the kickstart.nvim the other day by following the video. I skimmed through the README but I am a total newb and it didn't make sense so I figured that I would just come back to it later when I know more about lua and plugins. I just copied and pasted into init.lua. Some things seem to work, but what did I do? Should I start over?
