Holy shit did you decide the tiny pictures won't kill you? Congratulations on catching up to the 21st century.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE UNICODE EMOJIS?

Unicode emojis are tiny, standardized graphical characters—because apparently, writing words is too much to ask. 🙄

They work across devices and operating systems—except, of course, on your sad excuse of a system that lacks the necessary font support.


INSTALLING EMOJI FONTS (FINALLY)

Good news! A small amount of ACTUAL MODERN FUNCTIONALITY won't kill you.

Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt install fonts-noto-color-emoji

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji

Of course you use Arch.

Fedora

sudo dnf install google-noto-emoji-fonts

openSUSE

sudo zypper install noto-coloremoji-fonts

Gentoo

sudo emerge media-fonts/noto-emoji

Void

sudo xbps-install noto-fonts-emoji

Just because your distro's a void doesn't mean your fonts have to be 🥲
