Changing Shells

[deleted]

I followed the instructions to change my shell to fish and I've logged out and rebooted and ran the commands multiple times and my default shell still isn't set to fish.

I don't know why the documentation says to run chshwith sudo it is not needed.

I have never done that and I use zsh. I just tested it on VM. If I use sudo it does not change my shell, if I just use chsh -s /usr/bin/fish it will still prompt for my password but actually works.
