Total line count and size in kb after opening the file in neovim

How do I make neovim show total line count and size in kb at the bottom after I open the file like it does in vim?

What documentation have you read? What have you tried? What searches have you done? How do you do it in vim? Does it not work that way in nvim?

Don't be a help vampire.

In vim it is set by default, I have always used the default settings in vim, as for nvim, this setting is not set by default.

ewaller, I have solved most of my issues in my other threads.

And while I've no idea whether nvim supports it, the cool kids o/c all use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Powerline#Vim

what I am actually having in mind is this:

when I open nvim I see this:

0rV0Yjs

and vim shows it like this:

9Wj0Srb

so my question is, what do I put to init.vim for nvim to show Line Count and size in bytes once I open the file like vim does?

Why do you assume that's possible at all?
If you want to use vim, use vim - don't try to turn neovim into vim.

If you're interested in displaying that information, see my previous post.

I assume it because nvim is based on vim and most of the configuration is the same. I also dont think that this setting is something very complex.

Actually, no. It is a complete re-write that strives to be completely compatible with VIM.
Actually, I may be wrong in that statement.

Artix is based on archlinux, try to configure systemd on artix…

Well, then add it.

Afaict that's not configurable in vim and it's also dynamic, ie. the display disappears after some interaction.
Eg. it'll be gone in "vim -y foo.txt" before you can even see it and I don't think that's explicit but b/c the easy mode immediately moves to insert mode.
Either nvim has scrapped that display or kills it w/ some early interaction.
