Input method selection failure record from Windows to Ubuntu:rime → wbpy

🧭 1. Background: Input experience changes from Windows to Ubuntu

I have been using: after migrating to Ubuntu Linux from Windows 10:

✔ FcitX5 + Wubi Pinyin (wbpy)

Refer to previous records:

👉 Ubuntu 26.04 Input Method Tossing Notes: From FcitX5 Self-Starting Failed to Wubi Pinyin Stable Use

---

Input experience under Windows

• Use Sogou Wubi Pinyin
• Wubi + Pinyin mixed input experience is very good
• Input switching is natural and efficient

---

Input experience under ubuntu

• Use fcitx5 + wbpy
• Basically available
• But the overall experience is not as good as the Sogou input method under Windows

---

🧪 2. Reasons for trying RIME

After using Ubuntu for a long time, I try to introduce Rime:

👉 I heard that the RIME input method is very strong, which can improve the experience

My goal is:

• Improve input efficiency
• Implement Wubi + Pinyin mixed input
• As close as possible to the Windows Sogou input experience

---

⚙️ 3. Input method status after installing RIME

---

---

⚠️ 4. System prompts and input process

The system continues to prompt during the operation:

• It is recommended to install the Gnome shell input method extension

---

➕ 5. Add Zhongzhou Yun to the input method

---

🔄 6. Restart FcitX5 using the graphical interface

---

🧠 7. Rime Schema Switch Behavior Verification

Actual result:

• Only exists:
  • Wubi
  • Pinyin

---

❗ 8. Key conclusion: RIME does not meet the needs

Confirm after the full test:

✔ Rime supports ‘Wubi + Pinyin Mixed Input’ (via wubi_pinyin schema implementation)
❗ But the default configuration only includes pure five strokes and pure pinyin schema, you need to manually enable the mixed input scheme

Its structure is:

• Wubi = Independent Schema
• Pinyin = independent schema
• Fusion input requires additional configuration of Schema

---

🔚 Nine, restore the system status after cleaning Rime

Result:

• RIME related components have been cleared
• System restore Fcitx5 initial state
• wbpy returns to normal use

---

🧾 10. The final regression plan

The final input method is restored to:

• ✔ fcitx5
• ✔ WBPY (Wubi Pinyin input method)

---

📌 Eleven, final summary

The conclusion of this attempt is very clear:

👉 Rime is not suitable for ‘Wubi + Pinyin Mixed Input’ scene
👉 WBPY is a more suitable solution

---

🧠 Summary in one sentence

From Windows to Ubuntu, the core of the input method experience difference is not in the strength of the tool, but whether it is in line with the input habit.
