I am running Centos 6.6 US version and occasionally need to write emails and documents in Chinese using simplified characters. I have installed the ibus input system but do not find it very efficient having used the Google Pinyin keyboard on my Android phones and tablet.

Which input system is recommended for writing Simplified Chinese?
