I've been using other peoples config for Neovim for a while and although
it worked well for the most files I was a bit unhappy because I rarely
understood most configuration parts of it.

As I'm not working in IT or other computer related areas I'm not the one
that feels the need to dive into this deeply. I'm using AstroNvim for now
(I also had a look at NvChad) and I'm quite happy since today when I finally
got to fix the problem with Telescope (fzf) which never worked before on
either FreeBSD nor OpenBSD.

## TODO: fix formatting, add text

cd into `.local/share/nvim/lazy/telescope-fzf-native.nvim`

make sure GNU make is installed `pkg install gmake`

execute `gmake` which creates the file `build/libfzf.so`

now telescope worked for me.

lua_ls still won't work (platform not supported)
