  • If you’re seeing squares instead of characters, it sounds more like you lack the proper fonts. Installing something along the lines of noto-fonts-cjk should resolve that.

    My personal choice between ibus and Fcitx5 would be Fcitx5. Ibus feels more integrated with GNOME environment, whereas Fcitx5 feels less so. Fcitx5 also has more features too, such as having a keybind that changes your language profile. This is what I do so that AltGr switches between English and Japanese, or English and Korean. Either way, both should achieve the same basic goal.

    Don’t forget to set a bunch of environment variables too.












  • This one is probably one of the most disappointing one; Matrix had everything I wanted in terms of chat features. Programmability-wise, all it was an encrypted JSON sender/receiver, but in a good way. It basically could be extended however you want since it provided a useful primitive. But the encryption just randomly fails, and it’s hard to figure out why, causing you to miss messages. I eventually gave up on building a side project for it.
