## What it is
ibus-bamboo is a Vietnamese input method engine for the IBus input framework on Linux/BSD, written in Go. It supports all common Vietnamese encodings and typing methods (Telex, VNI, VIQR, Microsoft layout) with features like spell checking, tone marks, abbreviation typing, and emoji support.

## Use cases
- type Vietnamese with Telex on Linux
- type Vietnamese with VNI input method
- Vietnamese input method for Ubuntu
- ibus Vietnamese typing engine
- add Vietnamese keyboard support to Arch Linux
- type Vietnamese diacritics on BSD
- Vietnamese spell checking while typing on Linux

## When to avoid
- you primarily use Wayland, where fcitx5-unikey has better support
- you need actively maintained software, as the project has been stalled and may not be maintained in the future
