I’ll try to explain how my ancestors do it for many generations. Soak it in water until it’s time to cut it so the outer layers softer. Remove the « beard » part, remove the outer layers, then cut it horizontally once, from tip to the end. Attention, both halves need to have a part of the queue attached. Next, hold the queue of one half and cut fine slices perpendicular to the central axis.
If you want to make cubes, hold the queue with one hand and cut through the half onion in lines parralel-ish to the central axis. The idea is to keep everything linked together at the queue so it doesn’t go anywhere in the next step, when you hold the whole thing and cut through perpendicular to the main axis.
It sounds more complicated than it is but once you try it, you’ll never go back.
