    :Mason in a nvim session (nvim in terminal then use the command) then pick the lsp you want to use

    Note: lua, json, typescript, tailwindcss, cssls is installed by default with setup with Mason lspconfig

    There is no support for eslint_d and prettier for auto install, so install manually with :Mason

    https://github.com/yosukes-dev/one-dark-windows-terminal (wsl only)

    https://command-not-found.com/xdg-open (wsl only)

    https://github.com/cpbotha/xdg-open-wsl xdg-open is not in wsl, so you will need an alternative
