Heyo! Just another random who’s moving over from centralized social media to the Fediverse. Mastodon wasn’t too bad but I love anything like Reddit!
Games, anime, Japanese, food, and music are my loves. Fanfic beats food tho, I can read for hours instead!
I’ve never used xfce, I used Gnome previously and currently KDE Plasma, and I liked fcitx for both. However I had a bug with Anki where it wasn’t able to change language inputs with fcitx, so I had to switch to iBus. Both work fine, although I liked that Fcitx showed the conversion preview without having to hit tab, while iBus does.
The squares is probably a font issue, this article might help. You can easily switch input for both apps and set up your own shortcut combo.
I’m American, so we’re probably doing worse shit, but this shit is exactly why I hate how hard my professors push for us to be on LinkedIn. Besides it being Facebook but for hustle bros and shitty managers, the company itself doesn’t give a shit about it’s users and their privacy.
Sorry, I have dummy noob moments 😔
I use KDE Plasma
