I downloaded Ubuntu from Windows Store. I made necessary adjustments but I can't use "cd" and "~cd"commands to reach my desktop it gives error.It says"No such file or directory". How can I fix this?

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) uses a bit of a different environment than your normal Windows machine does. Your computer's C: drive can be browsed with /mnt/c, so you can get to your desktop using /mnt/c/Users/yourusername/Desktop.

I've never used WSL, but didn't whoever designed it miss the golden opportunity there to be able to use ~/Desktop ? – Tetsujin – 2020-02-26T12:41:20.270
