#chsh

literally if you don't code in the cli or write shell scrips or know/care abt teh differences between shells at least just try fish @fish-shell its. so ez

$ sudo [apt|yay|pacman|whatever] install fish

confirm fish in your list of available shells:

$ cat /etc/shells

it'll look smth liek this:

# /etc/shells: valid login shells

/bin/sh

/usr/bin/sh

/bin/bash

/usr/bin/bash

/usr/bin/fish

there might seem like a lot; some of them are aliases (e.g. sh often runs bash or dash). now the fun part. to change your interactive shell (to fish):

$ chsh -s /usr/bin/fish

that's it!

if u leave off all args and just run chsh, it will prompt u to enter a path to the shell you want for your login/system shell (tip: use that cat 🐈 command above to double check!)

if sudo, u can even add another user's username to teh end of the commands to change their shells
