Exit in oh-my-zsh leads me to bash terminal instead of closing the window which is the expected behaviour and working on my second machine.

Both machines run on ubuntu 16.04. My home laptop Thinkpad-530 though seems misconfigured.

Installation has been a while. Cant remember a specific difference.

➜  ~ exit
myname@ThinkPad-530:~$

Your terminal isn't running `zsh` directly. You are probably running `zsh` from your `.bashrc` or `.bash_profile`, so when `zsh` exits, the terminal's `bash` session is still running. Make `zsh` your login shell, or configure your terminal emulator to run `zsh` in a new window. – chepner Apr 06 '18 at 12:51

Thanks @chepner @RavinderSingh13 @triplee! `chsh -s $(which zsh)` did the trick! See explanation in the link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13046192/changing-default-shell-in-linux – Amanda Apr 07 '18 at 16:30
