From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

what's better on debian 13.1 xfce for Japanese, Chinese and Korean input? fcitx or ibus? (lemmy.ml)

I want to see the actual characters, hiragana, katakana... instead of squares and actually write traditional Chinese and Korean.

And easily change the input language / method

Not familiar with Chinese writing for typing, but through Fcitx, I could configure both Japanese and Korean phonetic keyboards, and that helps a bunch.

If you go this path, going from memory as it's been a while since I set them

Had to install the keyboards Mozc and Hangul in the "Input Method" tab
At the "Addon" tab, select the Hangul option, click on Configure at the bottom, and set the keyboard layout as Romaja (and don't remember if I had to tick them, but Auto Reorder and Hanja mode in the same screen are ticked, but not Word Commit)
For Mozc, (iirc) go to the Fcitx tray icon > Mozc Tool > Configuration Tool and in the window that opens, have Input Mode as Romaji
To be able to change inputs with the keyboard, (iirc) at the Global Config tab with the "Show Advanced Options" active, had to tick "Enable Hotkey to scroll Between Input Method" and the option right below to select a key combo at "Scroll between Input Method" (Ctrl Super was the least awkward of the options)
