I usually recommend new users to check out Kickstart. It contains a set of plugins and nice to haves so you don't have to discover them your self.

All plugins are in one file + has a lot of comments to help you get started.

Yep, I followed this recommendation, but when I was about to use Neovim in "production" I checked out LazyVim and AstroNVim and chose LazyVim by purely personal taste. Thanks to having learned how the config works with kickstart I don't feel lost, but still benefit from the big efforts and deep knowledge of the distro maintainers by assembling a sound full featured package.

I second Kickstart! The single-file and comments make it easy to learn and configure yourself.
