  • Re: How to set start directory to /home/user rather than /home/user/Des

    However, when I start a terminal it starts in ~/.desktop, I want it to
    start in ~. Does anyone know where that gets set?

    The HOME directory is in /etc/passwd.
    Example:

    user:x:1000:1000:User:/home/user:/bin/bash.

    - man usermod:
    The usermod command modifies the system account files.

    That is already the value of “~”.
