Honestly I've never had an easier time getting that sort of thing to work than on linux. As soon as there's a font installed providing emoji pretty much any program will pick up on that. Even got a Toki Pona font working just by installing it. Now I can IRC in languages no one speaks!
ππi cant πsee any of tπππhese at all, for meπππ this message has ππno πemojisπππππππππ
edit: fixed it by reinstalling nixOS, still have a minor nerd font issue. i also switched to nixOS 24.11 in the stable branch
why, nixOS? Why?? is this what i get for using the unstable branch?
Oh no
If you're using flatpak and Firefox you have to un-sandbox the font files from both flatpak and firefox's content sandbox
Works for me on Arch btw
