I'm new to Linux and just downloaded WSL2 and ubuntu on my Windows PC. I started the Windows terminal, chose Ubuntu from there, and wanted to move to the Desktop by using cd. However, I could not find the Desktop folder. First, I did "ls /" and many folders labeled as the following appeared. "bin", "dev", "home", "lib"..... Where is the Desktop folder? I moved to the "home" folder but there was nothing...
