Tried another shell and liked it so much that you want to use it all the time by making it the default shell? Here's how you can change the default shell in Linux.
I get why many of you don’t like the title. But for me personally, having a comfy shell with useful info in the prompt, good completions, auto closing brackets, syntax highlighting, and so on is very important. Not that I can’t use vanilla bash (and there’s a reason why I leave it as root’s shell), but well set up shell can make a big difference when doing more advanced things in the terminal. And for a new user, this may be even more important. I configured zsh, but I think it’s great that new users can just install Fish and have those features.
