Linghou Zoeng: Add a extra condition to invoke `nu` in `.bashrc`. If `bash` is invoked with `-l` AND `-c`, the original `.bashrc` will start `nu` instead of executing the command. It broke `niri-session` for me. `nu` should not be started if the command string is not empty.

	Using nushell as a login shell is not recommended ~~currently~~. ~~The problem~~ is that ~~nushell does not pick up your~~ environment variables ~~corretly if you~~ set ~~it as a login shell~~. To avoid these problems use the default bash interactive shell as a login shell and ~~lunch~~ nushell from there.		Using nushell as a login shell is not recommended. Since nushell is not a POSIX shell, it cannot execute the global shell rcfiles, which means that various environment variables that the general NixOS configuration expects to be set will not be set. To avoid these problems use the default bash interactive shell as a login shell and launch nushell from there:
