Re: How to write in Chinese
HI
tbf the built-in Chinese input method is painful
i used to use ibus.el in emacs（but it is dead i think）
l
some minor problems i have
1. unless locale is set to Zh_CN.UTF-8 i cant type chinese under X，no problem in Term though
i need to start emacs instant with LANG=zh_CN.utf8 emacs in bash if i dont want to set system locale
2. Ctrl-Space （or Win-Space） might be conflict with input methods change，make marks harder （use Ctrl-@）as alt
3. Latex is a little little but complex as you need CJK PACKAGE to make it work
FYI

In a way, Fabrice is right: Emacs would solve one thorny
problem, that of the input method, which X leaves to a bunch
of strange and opinionated plugins. No idea how the Wayland
story is, in this department. Possibly you'll have to put
up with whatever Gnome or KDE have come up (gulp!) or perhaps
LibreOffice comes with its own thingy.
Emacs is yet another rabbit hole, but this one is at least
a bit closer than LaTeX: it offers a working fontset management
and an outstanding collection of input methods (I count 25
variants for Chinese in my Emacs instance, take that ;-P
