After installing garuda dragonized and messing around with stuff i came to conclusion that i want to install some other terminal emulator than Kde's Konsole, so i went ahead and installed zsh mistakenly thinking that it is a terminal emulator.... after trying to run alacritty it kept opening Konsole. I thought that was a problem and just uninstalled konsole and fish. When i tried to open alcaritty it just didn't do anything.... thankfully there is a terminal in octopi that can run everything
So i thought that this is some weird Alacritty issue that btw didn't fix after reinstalling. so i just downloaded kitty. it ran but i couldn't set it to my default shell, when i do this on kde with system settings>default applications>terminal>kitty ctrl+alt+T it just shows up this weird message

looks like i messed up... How can i install kitty (or alacritty) as my default terminal emulator?

Restore last working snapshot, and do not touch a running s<stem :wink:

Thanks for the snapshot solution!=) but if I didn't want to touch my system I would have installed windows instead :rofl:

If you break it, you have to fix it.
Old Linux rule.

It would be useful to tell what you already tried to change default terminal. Have you seen default applications setting in system settings?

Lol true.
