Fish to Zsh Shell Hasn't Switched After Configuration

Hello team,
I've tried searching for the resolution to this without success. Perhaps I am not searching the right phrases.
I'm needing to switch to the ZSH shell (though I much prefer Fish :smile: ) due to the fact that Ruby doesn't play very well with the Fish shell, but it does with Zsh and Bash.

I went through the Garuda Assistant and switched my default shell to zsh, applied the settings and rebooted. Upon reboot, I opened the terminal, and halfway through opening the terminal my entire system froze and I had to do a hardware shutdown.
I rebooted again, and experience a visible amount of stuttering in opening/closing windows, specifically Konsole. After opening, my entire system froze again, and I had to repeat the process above.

Upon finally getting Konsole open without system freezing (though I still do get a decent amount of stuttering), I noticed below that when I echo $SHELL, I do get bin/zsh, but the fastfetch and titlebar say that I am still using Fish.
So I reinstalled zsh and related packages, rebooted again, but the Konsole still is saying that I am using Fish. Is there a specific .config file that I need to be editing and am missing to make the final switch?

Open up Konsole Settings, go in Edit Garuda Profile.

What do you see here?

FGD is right, Fish is set to the default shell in the Garuda Konsole profile.

In fact, most terminals offer an option to set the shell you want to use. If you want, you can set up a terminal that runs ZSH without changing any of your other settings. When you want to work on your Ruby stuff you'd just open that terminal.

If you prefer to work in Konsole, you can add a new Profile that automatically switches to ZSH when you open it. You can probably assign it a keybinding or something too.

Ah, you’re correct, the simplest and easiest of answers is what I overlooked. Lol

I will try this in the morning, test it out, and mark solution if it works out in the morning. Apparently I am tired and ready for some sleep. Lol

Tested this out, and this works perfectly for me! Hardest part is trying to figure out which keybinding I want to use to open that profile. :sweat_smile: Thanks guys for the assist! Appreciate all y'all do.
