Something tells me Fish is not a capable login shell? It was in /etc/shells, but that does not mean it’s a login shell right? Would any shell with job control be a login shell? I’m really scared to logout! Any help is appreciated.
PS: What happens if I choose a shell with no job control whatsover, like Marsh, the shell I’ve been making lately (it has JC, but let’s say it doesn’t!) a my login shell after force-adding it to ‘/etc/shells’? What a design flaw! Or is it?
Honestly? I haven’t bothered, I just kept bash and made it drop me into fish.
Jank? Yes, but working great so far.

Thanks a lot. I had reverted it to Zsh, now made it Fish again.
However, there’s a problem that I hope this will fix, but I don’t count on it. I don’t know wtf happened, but whenever I launch a terminal emulator, it just hangs? I have to SIGINT to launch into the shell sessions. I hope this fixes, but what if it won’t? What is keeping it? Is there a startup program idling it?
Like, the REPL won’t show, just a blank terminal, I use Kitty; but the emulator that is default (GNOME?) won’t work either. My full specs are in my Github profile -> github.com/Chubek
Thanks.
Here on an Arch Linux install with GNOME, Fish shell is doing fine as login shell on Tilix and GNOME terminal. A search engine search for “fish kitty” does show results which appear to indicate other people with issues.
Google how to set the default shell for kitty. That’s going to be the least problematic solution AFAIK since you’re only modifying the user terminal emulator, not the default shell for your entire system.
