de-googling more and more and i was wondering what your favorite Chinese keyboards are on Android. Right now I am using GBoard’s, and i kinda like it (你好!我将很臭中文.)but i also kinda hate google (我很恨谷歌。)do any of you comrades have good alternatives?

bonus question: good ways to type chinese on linux?

I use an old version of SwiftKey (8.10, got from aptoide) with no permissions and no data access (after downloading the language packs and themes).

I don’t know of any libre keyboard for pinyin input, but there’s a stroke input method keyboard on F-Droid (yeah it’s not practical at all). There’s also a bopomofo keyboard on there too iirc

Works better than anything listed here! Although, for me RIME was unnecessary.
