From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
1.5.29-rc2 was tagged on 9 Nov 2023 [1] and in did not contain "N_("CJK Unified Ideographs Extension I")," in src/ibusunicodegen.h [2].
Commit 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae from 28 Feb 2023 introduced this change instead. It's the same person who tagged 1.5.29-rc2 and committed 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae which is typically an indication the maintainer tar'd their checked out git folder and accidentally included changes not get committed.

gtk+-2.24.33_2 in transaction breaks installed pkg `ibus-1.5.28_2
On https://github.com/ibus/ibus we can see gtk+ are probably only need for ibus-setup. I would like help to be sure i not miss any step.

The reality of Wayland input methods in 2022 (2022)
I also know input methods work great in Ubuntu (Gnome Wayland) because Gnome supports ibus.
But the article is specifically about incompatibility of input methods among different DEs: Gnome, KDE, wlroots-based environments such as Sway and Hyprland.
After many years, ibus still doesn’t work with wlroots: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2182
The list of recommended IMEs on Sway are all WIP: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway#...
Most people use fcitx5 with Sway because fcitx5 and Sway both support input method unstable v2. But the article explains that v2 is still not universally supported among wayland DEs, and that’s why it’s problematic.

[Steam Gaming] - Player keeps moving in one direction even when direction key not pressed
Have no idea what the daemon does practically, here is the GitHub page.

Fedora 38 Beta Released
The F38 beta is currently affected by two (mostly gaming-related) issues that you should be aware of: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2678 -> a lot of SDL-based games have their fullscreen mode broken. The issue is bisected. - https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2480 -> Keyboard input sometimes gets stuck. Issue has already been identified and we're waiting for an ibus release.

Introducing the common input method
Also, to add to what u/Pizza-Driver said, it seems that ibus is not yet interoperable with the protocol used by Wayland display servers based on wlroots.

What does "Super+." do?
I meant ctrl+., but it looks like ibus recently changed their emoji input shortcut back to super+., so the gtk emoji picker should be available via ctrl+. again without requiring changes: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/1520c39d0d6036da725fcecd932883be3f3d3575
-
Disable Super+Period default behavior
Looks like it was changed here: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/1520c39d0d6036da725fcecd932883be3f3d3575

- Sway is an i3-compatible Wayland compositor
- Sway 1.9 Release
- Sway 1.9

"We understand" ;)
This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.
-
Firefox on the Brink?
I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.
I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.
https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/7645
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1743144
Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

Sourcing dot profile on sway starutp
I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

Option to not scale xwindow clients still out of the question?
So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

What Desktop Environment or Window Manager do you use on your Arch Linux System and why?
I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway
From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
What are some alternatives?
fcitx - A Flexible Input Method Framework
Hyprland - Hyprland is a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
fcitx5 - maybe a new fcitx.
wayfire - A modular and extensible wayland compositor
rofimoji - Emoji, unicode and general character picker for rofi and rofi-likes
i3 - A tiling window manager for X11
yabai - A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning
river - [mirror] A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
void-packages - The Void source packages collection
awesome-wayland - A curated list of Wayland code and resources.
