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 like to use fish but I don’t set it as default shell because that can cause issues with scripts and a few other issues (or at least, that’s what I’ve heard), some terminal apps you can set up profiles for and set the default shell that just the terminal app opens as to another shell, but leaves the system default as bash, getting the best of both worlds.
As for reasons I use fish if anyone’s interested, I don’t live in the command line much and I like that fish has a transparent sort of autocomplete as you’re typing to see what it would add if you pressed tab, and I like the colors it has, it’s more interactive and hand-holding, which is exactly what I want with my terminal for the times I have to go into it.
