    I thought you weren’t supposed to use Fish as your login shell directly since it isn’t fully POSIX compatible

        They warn about it on their home page, so I assumed using it could bust your system. My bad.
        I think they also had harsher wording about this in the past but I might be misremembering…

        This was more of a problem when they didn’t support basic POSIX-isms so even basic calls to sh like sh -c 'echo "foo" && echo "bar"' would fail. Less of a problem now but you never know when a random script is going to rely on some obscure POSIX flag
