LunarVim LunarVim permanently and completely unusable until reinstall

Problem description

LunarVim works well after fresh install, but after a few hours I always run into problems.

Use LunarVim
Wait for very long list of errors that look like this:

Is this a default installation? Are you editing any of the files and making any changes whatsoever? What are you doing when this happens?

That was Nightly.

I was editing, and occasionally working with the config file (<leader>;c). Wasn't changing anything crazy. Even when I loaded back in the default config, lvim refused to start without hundreds of errors.

Working on the Release version now and it's not encountering that issue.

Lets play with default actions Remove lvim (make backup your config) run this

bash ~/.local/share/lunarvim/lvim/utils/installer/uninstall.sh

next join to bash bash + Enter run installation again.

The recommended nvim version for lunarvim nightly builds is 0.9.0.

+1 for this issue, nvim 0.8.0/macOS
