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?
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.

The notice on packer suggested to use either lazy or pckr
NOTICE:
This repository is currently unmaintained. For the time being (as of August, 2023), it is recommended to use one of the following plugin managers instead:
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.
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
