Summary0007763: strange console user name after using the source command
Description

I used the source command to source a .bash_aliases file. After that I used the command source for the .bashrc file.
After that the console looked really weird. The place where it should say "samuel㉿kali" there are a bunch of numbers, letters and symbols.
When I opened another console everything looked normal again. The same thing is when I changed to root with "sudo -s". But when I exited the root, it looked the same way as before.
Probably worth to mention:
When I used the source command, that worked fine until now, the console prints a bunch of error messages before going into that weird state.
The errors:
└─$ source /home/samuel/.bashrc
Command 'shopt' not found, did you mean:
command 'shout' from deb libshout-tools
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

Additional Information

This is how the console looks after using the command:
[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a][\033[;32m]┌──([\033[1;34m]\u㉿\h[\033[;32m])-[[\033[0;1m]\w[\033[;32m]]\n[\033[;32m]└─[\033[1;34m]$[\033[0m] sudo -s

┌──(root㉿kali)-[/home/samuel]

You are using zsh not bash so you can't source the file .bashrc. ZSH uses .zshrc instead
To check which shell you're using just type echo $0. If you want to run bash just type bash. And then if you want to make the switch to bash permanent yo can do so in kali-tweaks
