After installing the latest version of Manjaro-gnome.I tried to install the Chinese input method,but the FCITXconfiguration screen displayed blank without the default system keyboard layout.
I get the following error when I run fcitx from the command line interface.

Hi im Chinese but I suck at it, 我会一点华文,我认为你不应该不要用 fcitx 或 fcitx5 在 Gnome DE. Gnome DE 已经有 IBUS IME. 如果你使用 KDE 用fcitx 或 fcitx5, 如果你用 Gnome DE 用 IBUS IME. IBUS IME 在 Gnome DE 比较完整。
Translating what I said to English:
I think u should not use Fcitx or Fcitx5 on gnome because the integration of IBUS on gnome is very tight. If you use Fcitx or Fcitx5 on Gnome, it will look bad and might not function as well.
It is also very easy to set up IBUS on Gnome, no need to edit anything, it’s already set up. Just go to Settings → Region and Language → Input Sources (add anything you need, like the picture below)

The current situation is that the input method commonly used by us Chinese seems to be able to use fcitx but not ibus.目前的情况是我们中国人常用的输入法好像只能用fcitx不能用ibus
Well you are free to use any input method you prefer, but @KedricPon 's point was about the fact that ibus is very easy to start with if you’re using Gnome, no more no less.
