So basically I used Fedora KDE Edition for about a week, and I found a problem about typing
I’m a Fcitx5 Chinese user, and if I run Java-based applications such as Arctime or Minecraft Java Edition, my Fcitx5 doesn’t work and I can only type in English.
One of my friend said this problem can be solved with Xwayland, but he doesn’t use Fedora but Arch, so I really don’t know where can find help. Pls someone help me
Also Fcitx5 doesn’t work on WeChat either
I have a page on Japanese in Linux which covers a few issues I had with fcitx5 and input. Though not Chinese, I think the issues are similar. I don’t know if Xwayland will help though it might–KDE (which I don’t use) is going to be KDE whether on Arch or Fedora.
I found that with Fedora and Gnome (vs KDE), it was just easier to use ibus, as they seem to want to push it over fcitx5. I usually use openbox or dwm, and don’t have trouble with them. For Wayland, I find that I can get Japanese running in labwc, an openbox equivalent.
My page is at https://srobb.net/jpninpt.html with the Wayland section at the end. I’d try Xwayland as your friend suggests, and if it doesn’t help, I’d consider switching to ibus.
I’d rather to use Fcitx5 instead of iBus, cuz it has more modern experience and similar to the experience on Windows 10.
Also Fcitx5 worked great on most Wayland software
