Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

Problem?

While you can change the default Distro location, the save locaiton for templates and the distro base downloads is still always "C:\WSL2-Distros".

Solution

A setting similar to "Default Distro Location" that lets me change the base save folder for everything.

Alternatives

No response

Anything else?

Thanks for your work on this!

I don't think c:\WSL2-Distros is a good default. Most users won't have permission to create directories in c:\ (without elevated administrative access).
