  Use a package manager! Assuming Windows (since it's the odd one out), get yourself some scoop then just scoop install openjdk. No need to navigate to a website, download bundleware, click next-next-next and accidentally install a virus like some caveman from 1997. This has been a solved problem since ancient times!

• How easy is it to setup Neovim and Nvchad on windows?

  Should be easy enough, I installed neovim on my windows machine with scoop (you can even get nightly if you want), it's basically a one line install. You can also do a manual install if you want, but you don't have to. It took a little fiddling for me because I wanted to install scoop as well as all applications onto my D drive rather than my C drive, but nothing too crazy. I never got NvChad on my windows...

• Switching from Emacs. My experience

  Thanks to [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/), installing Neovim, and all the necessary tools such as ripgrep, fd, bat, and even Alacritty is pretty easy in Windows, and although it doesn't feel nearly as fast as in a Linux machine, it is still very performant, especially when comparing it to Emacs and VSCode.
