yes - however those paths are not available to any backup system. if you want to switch from ubuntu to fedora, there is no easy way to do it. If you accidentally uninstall ubuntu, you will lose that partition (and all your work). this has happened to me once already.

In linux, you just have a separate /home partition . You can have a dozen operating systems, merrily using the same home partition. you can trash your OS, but your home directory doesnt get trashed.

i have a pending request to offer the concept of a "home directory". the filesystem on which i work inside wsl2 should not be opaque to the rest of the operating system.
