I am new to Fedora and KDE, and I am trying to install a Chinese IME through fcitx5 on my Fedora 42 KDA Plasma. As I follow instructions given on other Reddit threads, I got stuck on the input method selector applet, which returns : "input method doesn't support im-chooser on this desktop session", and the log below :
