I always figured anyone wanting a different shell is probably heavily into Linux to the point that switching it themselves would be fairly trivial.

Is CachyOS a more CLI focused desktop linux? I'm not very familiar with it. Normally on a desktop I avoid the CLI, because the GUI is just easier and faster to use.

I would imagine that if you know enough to legitimately have a favorite shell, you don't really have an issue running chsh

I don't get it.

As such, users now have the option to choose between cachyos-fish-config and cachyos-zsh-config. "If neither is selected, the system will default to Bash. The default configuration will still be Fish ...

You can choose between fish and zsh and if you don't select anything it selects bash but fish is default? Huh?

Meaning, fish is preselected and you have to unselect fish in order to get bash?

Like:

Which shell do you want (deselect for bash)? [x] fish [ ] zsh

From my understanding, if you choose one, you'll get that shell + the styling/prompt, however if you choose neither, you'll just get stock bash with nothing extra applied. I've taken a quick skim through their pkgbuilds, and they don't seem to have a bash equivalent for these configs

Alright nerds, what’s your favorite shell and why do you think it was omitted?

It would be cool if it was built into the terminal itself, where you'd just select it and it would auto-download and install.
