Error in loading the kickstarter config in kali WSL package.

[detox366]

The setup of the kickstarter doesn't work for newly built nvim from the source for kali linux in WSL.

To Reproduce

Build the nvim from source and then run the kickstarter code git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim

Just noticed you built from source.

Does /usr/local/share/nvim/runtime/syntax.vim exist?

Does Neovim work on the WSL command line without kickstart installed?

I run Neovim on Ubuntu and Manjaro WSL all the time with zero issue, but I installed from binary packages for both.

Would you consider just installing from a pre-built binary? Kali is Debian based, you could just install that one.

No further activity on this. Will close soon.
