What way exactly do you start ibus ?
Please post more info about your system, see https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3502

I have to start it as my input method, otherwise my own language input method won't be active.
it's Trinity De, I know that by default ficix is installed, which doesn't work well after I installed sogou Pinyin.
Sogou pinyin doesn't update for a few years. Ibus often works good while I work with other De, such as lxqt and it runs automatically.
I started ibus in the menu. then the window says the daemon didn't run, will you started? yes. next time reboot I shall have do this again.

What is your language and locale settings ?

China.
After typed inxi -b, we got:

Desktop: TDE (Trinity) v: R14.1.5 Distro: Q4OS 6.7-deb13u1
Machine:
Type: Desktop System: LENOVO product: QiTianM5900 v: QiTianM5900-N000
serial: <superuser required>
Mobo: LENOVO model: Bantry CRB v: NOK serial: <superuser required>
UEFI: LENOVO v: M0LKT04BUS date: 10/15/2015
CPU:
Info: quad core AMD A8-5600K APU with Radeon HD Graphics [MCP] speed (MHz):
avg: 1397 min/max: 1400/3600

It is a pretty old second-hand PC, which is rather cheap. Since I am not a gamer, an cheap old PC might be fine. Because I am a newbie or rookie for Linux, I know little of it.
I have known that after installed De, change for a mirror web-address will get a faster connection ,and the like. Still yet ,approximately nothing I know.

Traditional or Simplified Chinese locale ? You can check it with terminal command:
$ echo $LANG $LANGUAGE $LC_ALL

Simplified. The other one we call it complex instead of traditional.

Fcitx5 input method framework should be installed by default after Q4OS setup for Chinese users. Are there a reasons to use "Ibus" instead ?

Just as a side comment to this - installing Zoom drags in ibus as a dependency.

I truelly consider that lxqt is more concise , plain ,clean and clear than TDE , to human perception. Maybe more convenient to use too.
