So I wanted to try running a python code inside a txt file on ubuntu. I saved the file on the desktop but i can't seem to find the desktop directory on my terminal. When I type ls all i can see are the program files i created using vim. I also used cd .. to go the previous directory /home, but inside that only my 2 user folders are shown, 1 is the main one i believe, which i can't access as it says permission denied when i try to cd. The 2nd user folder is the one where all the programs i created exists, right now when I open the terminal i am inside this user folder.
So does anyone have any idea on what i can do, I am pretty new at using ubuntu and I can't seem to find an answer.
