Find Your Footing After Installing Arch Linux

I don't do CJK.

Of course if something you need doesn't work under Wayland, you will need to use X and you can for as long as it still works, and that's actually about the only good reason I see to pick X. But make sure issues are reported!

(Now, I'm curious, what breaks CJK under Wayland?)

I don't know, I'm not a guru in that domain.

As far as I understand, wayland doesn't have any common provisions for input methods whatsoever. (There is something recent and experimental, but I'm not sure.)

So far, every toolkit would implement it's own way of inputting CJK, independently. So input would work in kde and gtk programs, but not in foot or alacritty.
