Honestly I don't even know where to ask this, but I want to get a plugin in order to get this inside my nvim, but I don't even know what it is called to search for it
So, what do you call the thing on the right, the one that shows an error? (this is a screenshot from KDevelop)
I actually got it working now, and, because I really wanted this when I was trying to get it working, here is a minimal working init.lua configuration file to get it up and running, for anyone else that might need it.
Due to the current way I configured it for now, it'll quit once by itself, then you should re-run it three times. Why?
plug.vim installs the plugins needednvim-lsp-installer installs the LSP servers (check installation progress by using :LspInstallInfo)I am extremely open to suggestions for this, I know the plugin automation and plug.vim bootstrapping is basically held together by electrical tape, if there's anyone who knows how to do any of this better, please inform me.

EDIT: How does it look? Not good, it's a barebones config. Here's some code with mistakes in it to showcase it:
:PlugInstall and either run it as needed interactively or from the command-line with +PlugInstall
"autocmd VimEnter * q), on first launch, nvim is going to complain about it: Vim(call):E117: Unknown function: plug#begin. Also, :PlugInstall gets ran only once, when downloading plug.vim, it creates a file. If that file exists, it runs PlugInstall and then deletes the file. And, the LSP servers only get installed once (when on ln.49, nvim-lsp-installer is being told that it has to make sure that all the LSPs inside the lspservers_to_install array are installed), not everytime nvim starts.
