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?

    I fucked up my bashrc once. I copied and pasted something meant to be copied and pasted off of our confluence, and it fucked up the path. So, when I’d boot, it’d put me into the desktop environment and nothing could run because the path was unset. Eventually figured out how to boot into shell, looked up the location of a text editor, and removed the offending addition. And then fixed the shit on confluence and checked the edit history to see who fucked it up so I could talk shit about them with my close coworkers.
