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?

    Like, the REPL won’t show, just a blank terminal, I use Kitty; but the emulator that is default (GNOME?) won’t work either.

    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.
