Trouble getting to Desktop directory, with Bash on Microsoft's Windows (WSL)
0
I'm using the Bash terminal for Windows and currently this is what I get when I type ls -a
<username@userPC>:/$ ls -a
. bin data home lib64 mnt root srv usr
.. boot dev init lost+found opt run sys var
acct cache etc lib media proc sbin tmp
I'm trying to get to my desktop and I don't know what path that is. I tried to go through each of these files and had no success.
