rm -rf ~/Desktop - how to fix it and/or change the location
I was trying to symlink Windows desktop with Lubuntu desktop folder, but have in the process removed the Lubuntu folder completely. I know I can't recover the lost files, but how do I fix this now, since the desktop functionality is now somewhat broken? And/or how do I then symlink a folder (which will be a Windows desktop folder) to Lubuntu desktop folder, so that my Lubuntu and Windows OS share the same desktop? Are there any downsides to this?
