I apologize for my impatience. I was considering excluding ibus-anthy and ibus-mozc from Debian Live GNOME releases. I was hoping to find a quick solution to avoid that because it would have been worse for people who wanted to use Debian Live GNOME with Japanese. I do think making it easier for enabling anthy or mozc is an interesting idea. But the current script in ibus-anthy and ibus-mozc has been disruptive. A gsettings override is another way to customize the default input method. It is similar but a bit better than the script. You can see how to use it with https://manpages.debian.org/dh_installgsettings and https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/ptyxis/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/ptyxis.gsettings-override It could be easily used if you were making a custom Debian ISO. It is more difficult to find a way to do this in regular Debian without interfering with people who use different ways to input text. > BY the way, I hear next Ubuntu will be Wayland only? > > Is there similar move on Debian? Ubuntu Desktop is basically the GNOME desktop with some tweaks. GNOME can't be used with Xorg as of GNOME 50 . That change only affects the GNOME desktop and is already in Debian Testing. Other desktops (including GNOME Flashback) still support Xorg. The KDE developers also announced that Plasma 6.8 will only support Wayland. Plasma 6.8 will likely be released by the end of 2026 and there is a high change that it will be included in Debian 14. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
