Neovim v0.9.2 is now available
This is the first Neovim release since Bram Moolenaar passed away and the archival/deprecation of both null-ls.nvim and packer.nvim.
Is anyone running into any issues with this release (particularly if you use null-ls or packer)? How are the Neovim distros (eg - NvChad, AstroNvim, LazyVim, LunarVim, etc.) performing after the update?

Wait, packer is dead? Feels like I've been through 100 damned packed managers.
What should one use now then?

The notice on packer suggested to use either lazy or pckr
lazy.nvim: Most stable and maintained plugin manager for Nvim.
pckr.nvim: Spiritual successor of packer.nvim. Functional but not as stable as lazy.nvim.

Lazy has a reference how to migrate to it, also this YouTube video is pretty helpful

Specifically lazy.nvim migration guide has guides for packer and paq.

Been using minpac since forever. It has all the minimal functionality and is a perfect dead project one doesn’t have to worry about.
One day I might switch to lazy, but so far I’m too lazy to.

Yeah I’ll stick with packer until some breaking change maybe happens with neovim in the future. I say this with no knowledge of the other two options, but everything with packer is so damn easy I can’t imagine lazy or pckr being any easier.

Considering null-ls still works on nightly, it should be fine.

LazyVim migrated to nvimtools/none-ls

@skipperwannabe
Does "still works" mean null-ls works just as well today on Neovim v0.9.2 (and/or latest nightly) as it did on Neovim v0.9.1 when the null-ls archival announcement was made about two months ago or that it "still works" as long as you can work around issues stemming from a change(s) to Neovim since the null-ls archival announcement?
Since Neovim v0.9.2 "is a maintenance release, focused on bug fixes and performance improvements", I assume its the former.

For me, it works as well on nightly without any modifications as it did when the archival announcement was made. But I only use formatters and one or two linters. So can't confirm for other features.
That said, I am thinking about changing to conform.nivm for formatting.
