I am experiencing issues with invoking and changing the default shell to Zsh, Dash, and Ksh in Garuda Linux. While Bash and Fish work without any issues, shells like Zsh, Dash, and Ksh either do not invoke correctly or behave unexpectedly, not providing the usual interactive shell environment. However, these shells are not stuck and can be exited using Ctrl-D. The problem persists both when changing the default shell using chsh and when invoking these shells manually.

I suspected it as chsh issue but I’ve problem invoking any shell rather than fish and bash. But even zsh do not give any interaction at all.
Following output taken into alacritty emulator. Foot only can able to change bash btw.

I’m using the latest version of Garuda and this is not occurred recent times. I can not remember using Zsh ever.
