Hi All

anybody knows how to configure profile with 'wsl.exe -d Debian' so it would start in WSL's home direcotry and not windows home direcotry?

Thank you.

There is a pull request that explains how to set your profile to open in WSL user home directory. See #3405.

I’m using ubuntu. In my case, switching ‘wsl.exe -d Ubuntu’ to ‘ubuntu.exe’ will make it start in home directory. Not sure but you could try with ‘debian.exe’.

Thanks for finding the duplicate @encladeus! That's correct, #3405 will add this documentation.
