Windows Terminal allows you to open the settings and change things there. If you already have ubuntu installed, it should be an option to set the ubuntu profile as your default config.

Copy paste the guid for ubuntu into the defaultProfile and it will automatically launch WSL ubuntu instead of powershell by default.
