Changing the default terminal shell¶

Note: The procedure for changing the default terminal on Bazzite is the same as that for Project Bluefin since both are based on Universal Blue. These instructions are adapted from the Project Bluefin docs.

Bazzite ships pytxis as the default terminal. It shows up as Terminal in the menu. It is strongly recommended that you change your shell via the terminal emulator instead of system-wide. Click on the Terminal settings and edit your profile:

Then select "Use Custom Command" and add the shell you want to use. /usr/bin/fish is included on the image and other shells like ZSH may be installed with Homebrew:
