Trouble Running Ubuntu 20.04 on Windows 11 Surface Book 2: Trying to the green and blue part to match my instructor's

I am taking the Google IT Support Specialist course on Google, I am using Ubuntu 20.04, with a Surface Book 2, with Windows 11 capability, and I need help with trying to get my code to follow that of Cindy the instructor. This for Course 3 in OS Week 1 "Linux Changing Directories in Bash".

So in a nutshell, I am trying to get my code to say something like "Hecto@DESTKOP...:~/Desktop$" and return "home/Hecto/Desktop" how do that?

I am trying set my Linux code to where it says "~/Desktop" like Cindy's? Do you have any suggestions as to how I should do this (i.e. give this a similar format as this ?

If your suggestions is to change my current username "kdx264" back to the one on my computer under my Desktop "Hecto", I just want to let you know that I am having trouble with that because when I try to log into to a temporary account that I created for sudo like on this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUK710T2M_w), it sates that "System has not been booted with systemmd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down Failed to talk to init daemon". Do you know what that even means in laymen terms? Any help would be appreciated. In fact, I am actually pretty novice at IT stuff.

You're using WSL, which will NEVER match what your instructor is using if they're using pure linux. Your instructor looks to be using an Ubuntu Linux system - either in a VM or directly installed on their system.

It also will never properly give you a valid reply for process id 1 (which is init or systemd) because this is WSL and not a full Ubuntu installation.

I can tell you that based on the font differences and background of the terminal process and the coloring that your instructor or person named 'cindy' is, in fact, using an Ubuntu Desktop installation - either bare metal or virtualized - for their actions. To match exactly, you will need to do a full installation of Ubuntu in a VM (via virtualbox or similar), or dual boot with Ubuntu which is a little finnicky with Windows 11 because of some of the things Windows 11 asserts on a computer.

My advice would be run an Ubuntu Desktop VM via VirtualBox on your system if you really want a fully functional Ubuntu installation rather than the semi-sorta-usable WSL that will not work with the base init processes.
