I don’t know that I agree with the take represented in your linked article. If I’m reading it correctly, the primary reason not to switch shells is that those shells might not exist universally. That is a valid concern, but running
which fish(as referenced in my original comment) should help to mitigate that risk factor. Scripts should always use a hashbang to specify their desired environment so, unless you’re overriding that, it shouldn’t be a concern.I agree that you shouldn’t use shells that are not available to you. I don’t think that means you shouldn’t try to change shells if you are unsatisfied with your current one.

You could spend those thirty years italicizing things.

Is your turtle okay?
You can change your default shell in a few ways. I’ve never used fish, but
vipwshould open yourpasswdfile, in which you can change/bin/bashto the appropriate path for fish (which you can find viawhich fish). It’s probably best to only change this for your user.A possibly simpler option (and one that I don’t believe requires root access) is the
chshcommand. I’ve never used it myself, so I’ll let this site provide instructions for it: https://www.howtogeek.com/669835/how-to-change-your-default-shell-on-linux-with-chsh/
I hate that function. It’s imprecise and the cursor always shows up when I don’t want it.
Mom’s spaghetti is on my sweater already.
It was only after I realized this wasn’t referring to hermit crabs that this made sense.

We had very little input about the water management here.
