[guide] how to configure japanese input in desktop mode

just posting the info here so that others looking for info can use what I found.

here's what I did for to get japanese input working in KDE Bazzite-deck

  1. rpm-ostree install fcitx5-gtk fcitx5-qt5
  2. in the /etc/environment file, add the two following lines to the end of the file:
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

  1. reboot. Then, in Virtual Keyboard settings, set Fcitx 5 as your virtual keybaord, and click apply
  2. in your autostart settings, add Fcitx 5
if everything is configured, pressing ctrl + space should switch between japanese input, and your other language input
