LazyVim, by default, will prevent loading plugins that are not managed by LazyVim. This includes all plugins installed via Nix. If you want to install plugins with both Nix and LazyVim, add the following to your LazyVim setup:

{{code|lang=lua|line=no|1=

require("lazy").setup(lazyPackages, {

performance = {

reset_packpath = false, -- so that plugins outside of lazy can be loaded

},

})

vim.cmd([[ packloadall]] ) -- load plugins outside of lazy

}}
