简介

Linux 的输入法跟 Windows 和 mac OS 相比略有些不同，主要在于多了一个输入法平台的概念，并且有很多的输入法可以选择，着实让人头晕。今天根据几篇博文，我以安装 fcitx 为主线，梳理了一下输入法的安装过程和遇到的问题。

输入法平台

在使用 Windows 和 mac OS 时，我们通常直接选择输入法，例如搜狗输入法，百度输入法。但是在 Linux 系统中我们第一步是选择输入法平台，不同的平台下有各自的输入法。目前市面上的输入法平台有三种 iBus, fcitx,fcitx5。我主要推荐 Fcitx5。

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real
