Laptop screen flickers, WeChat lacks Chinese input, and AppleImage cra

Hello everyone, my wechat cannot use chinese input method, and the current Appimage 4.0.1.11 version also easily crashes. I am currently using Lenovo 14+ 6800h, while my arch version is linux 64bit 6.14.6-arch1-1 and the gnome version is 48. Does anyone have a good solution? Thanks.

No.

We know *nothing* about your system.
Not the hardware, nor the software nor the configuration.

How do you suggest anyone can suggest "solutions" for a vaguely described symptom on that basis?
Also please don't create shopping-list threads, focus on one problem per thread - otherwise they become a complete mess and of little to no value for future readers in no time.

For wechat, you'll also have to specify which one you installed, as it's not in the repos.
And of course which IM you're using.

Sorry for that. I have made the changes and have learned how to ask. Thanks for your help.

The OP now focuses on wechat input for which the hardware (the product label is of limited value, there're multiple versions of that notebook) is less relevant.
But the use input method would matter and you didn't address that. Nor which version of wechat you've actually installed.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Input_method - which one do you use? Assuming gnome runs on wayland, do you have the same problem on X11 and is wechat an xwayland client?
