ibus-libpinyin 1.9.x works quite well in Fedora 26/27 (though needs some "training" to elevate the frequency of certain special words/phrases in personal dictionary). In comparison, the current version of ibus- libpinyin (Ubuntu 17.10 and before) is almost unusable. The Chinese Ubuntu forum is advising Ubuntu users to remove and install fcitx, which has its own problems.

Reasons for the switch are: - ibus-libpinyin is better maintained - ibus-libpinyin is built with and depends on Python3 (not yet in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/883631) - ibus-libpinyin is default input method in GNOME Bugs ibus-libpinyin ------------------- https://github.com/libpinyin/ibus-libpinyin/issues https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=ibus-libpinyin https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-libpinyin Bugs libpinyin -------------- https://github.com/libpinyin/libpinyin/issues (no open Debian or Ubuntu bugs) I have read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements, and haven't found any issues that would prevent the proposed main inclusion.
