From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am assuming you had a typo and mean NvChad (edit: just now realized you did mention NvChad in the title already). Yes you can, but calling flatpak applications on the command line is kinda weird so I would actually suggest an alias if you want to be able to just type
nvimin your terminal.To start the flatpak version of neovim via the CLI you'll need to type
flatpak run io.neovim.nvim. Of course you don't want to do that, so you can tell your terminal to remember that whenever you typenvimyou actually meantflatpak run io.neovim.nvim. To do that you can put the following in your terminal:alias nvim='flatpak run io.neovim.nvim'As far as I understand, NvChad is a plugin for neovim. The command they provide for installing it just downloads the necessary files to the default config location for neovim, and starts neovim. however the flatpak version of neovim seems to be using a different location for it's configuration. This blog post seems to say that the config location for flatpak neovim is
~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/config/nvim/, so you'll probably have to move the files there for NvChad to work.Nvchad is a ready made neovim config, that can be extended, not just a plugin.
I never used neovim so I'm not so familiar with the functionalities/terms. I was torn between writing plugin or config, but I thought a plugin would be more relevant. I'm assuming a plugin can change more than a config could.
The config for modern neovim users mainly consists of plugins and configs for plugins.
