minus-square@sparrlinkEnglish5•5 months ago please dont use chsh doesnt mean your whole OS needs a different shell chsh just changes the shell when you log in to a shell. all the other shells are still available and usable. any script starting tieh #!/bin/bash will still run with bash, even if you’re using zsh or fish.
minus-squareboredsquirrellinkfedilink-1•5 months agoYes bash scripts still work, but I heard there may be other things that randomly break. Many things use #!/bin/sh for example, which often is a link to bash, but may not work anymore.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•5 months agochsh does not modify /bin/sh Maybe you’re thinking of a certain video from a certain YouTuber who linked /bin/sh to fish?
minus-squareboredsquirrellinkfedilink-1•5 months agoHaha no didnt think of that? Hm, I dont know why it would be an issue then. POSIX compliant shells should be no problem, but I wouldnt do it for fish
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•5 months agoIt will never matter what your login shell, unless you have bash specific scripts in your login. chsh -s /bin/fish $(whoami) is fine.
