Hi Walter,

Can I simply install uim or fctx through the terminal?

There are other input methods out there you could try instead. I use `uim` but `fcitx` is very popular.

We discussed in the past getting rid of `ibus` and I'm still not sure why we don't. Their developers are extremely unhelpful and unresponsive.
