I wouldnt recommend using fish as default shell even in Archlinux, although
it is certainly possible, read here:

"*Haven't yet stumbled upon any unexpected login-issues using fish. The
biggest
problem is that some commands expect you to be able to source standard shell
scripts or output. e.g from 'dircolors', 'gpg-agent' and others... luckily
most of them is just to "export <somevar>=<someval>" and can quite easy be
converted to fish syntax.
You can get to a jump start by browsing through my fish config files
repo here: https://github.com/esodax/fishystuff
Not much in there really, but feel free to extract what you want, or just to
get an overall idea on how to solve 'source this-and-that' problems you
might encounter yourself.
Also, my way might not be the best way, but it works for me at least :)
For example, "include/colors.fish" and "functions/run_gpg-agent.fish"
resolves
the problem I mentioned above with dircolors and the gpg-agent.*"
Most linux startup and whatnot scripts are written in bash, and yes there is
a shebang line most of the times, nevertheless I'd expect some glitches when
bash is not the default shell. I do use fish in a way that I set it as
default in tmux and Xterm.
