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...

WSL mounts the windows filesystem under /mnt/c, try /mnt/c/Users/<username>/desktop.

So, I am branding some ODBC drivers on a Linux box with a unified installer.
Can I "tar" the AIX files on the Linux box and they will be valid on an AIX server?
Or do I need to FTP the files to the AIX server and then tar them there?
I have not tried it yet, trying to find out before that effort.

Hello guys I'm trying to create an bootable iso from my installed linux distro with systemback but I have too much stuff on / directory, there is any way of pick only the folders like /root /usr /bin
that is necessary for the installation of the system?
There is any software that make a "Clean" version of my current distro, and create an .iso or something like that?
I'm curious about that because you know, it's trash have to install the whole system from the beginning if you have an "cute life distro" already created.
and the limitations of .iso (4.7GB) is annoying.
My current / directory have 91.8GB on it
lol
Help-me please! And thanks ;)
I hope that is possible make this happen...

I would like to be a user with root access, when developing in Visual Studio Code on my local machine.
I read many posts about this but they all depend on using something with su or sudo. Unfortunately, in my case both return "bash: su(do): command not found".
How can I enable root access for myself?
MSYS/MinGW is essentially just a collection of linux utilities compiled as windows executables. It is not actually linux, so linux concepts, like the root user, do not apply. Similarly, tools that only work on linux, like nvm, also will not work in MSYS. If you want something that is actually linux, check out the Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL.

By default I have Windows-8 installed on my machine, and I have installed Linux Ubuntu alongside Windows-8, Now on every start of a machine a grub menu appears where I can choose which OS to open (Windows-8/Linux-Ubuntu).
Now I want to install Linux-Kali on my machine alongside Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu.
Without touching Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu I want to install Linux-Kali, Because I have already installed many softwares in Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu.
Install virtual box https://www.virtualbox.org/ and you can install any other OS as guest.
You can copy to any machine you are interested, and you can run both the windows and linux at the same time.

I have prepared partition, Mint iso and Windows 7. Can I easily install Mint directly from Windows without using pen drive or CD?
You should not do that. You create another partition and put a Linux live image there. Then you boot this system and install Linux Mint like you would from CD or USB
You shouldn't have many issues.
During the install on Mint, you will be allowed to select install options. If Mint detects a preexisting OS, it defaults to "install along side OS xxx."
I believe from there you can select your partition or create new ones.
