For example, when storing your WSL project files:

- Use the Linux file system root directory: `\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\<user name>\Project`
- Use the Linux file system root directory: `/home/<user name>/Project`
- Not the Windows file system root directory: `/mnt/c/Users/<user name>/Project$` or `C:\Users\<user name>\Project`

When you see `/mnt/` in the file path of a WSL command line, it means that you are working from a mounted drive. So the Windows file system C:/ drive (`C:\Users\<user name>\Project`) will look like this when mounted in a WSL command line: `/mnt/c/Users/<user name>/Project$`. It is possible to store your project files on a mounted drive, but your performance speed will improve if you store them directly on the `\\wsl$` drive.
