Describe the bug

When start the distro, the home dir is under /mnt/c. I always have to cd ~, and then source ~/.bashrc to get what I want. How can set this up so it's always in the ~ ?

I think the best answer is to drop a ~/.profile file with the following contents, and then go into your Windows Terminal settings and set the starting directory to /home/

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
        . "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi
