Using fish shell on Fedora LXQT Desktop

1. Install fish

sudo dnf install fish

2. Change default shell to fish

chsh -s /usr/bin/fish
# If chsh not found, you can install it by: sudo dnf install util-linux-user

3. Get your Flatpak working by following this gist

4. The qterminal uses bash shell No Matter What (Not sure if it's a bug in qterminal or LXQT desktop).

So, the workaround is:

• Use the Fish app in the start menu, or

• Create a desktop shortcut for qterminal, then run from there. The shortcut looks like:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Icon=utilities-terminal
Exec=qterminal -e "fish --login"
Terminal=false
Categories=Qt;System;TerminalEmulator;
Actions=Dropdown;
