This is something that's already possible! By replacing the globals.defaultProfile value with the guid of the Ubuntu profile, the Windows Terminal will launch Ubuntu by default.

Refer to this document for more info.

How does one find these guids?

They're in your profiles.json file already.

I didn't have Ubuntu installed and I'm not sure if WSL was enabled when I first installed this. Maybe that's the reason I'm missing them?

Yea, we only generate the Ubuntu profile if it exists on first launch of the terminal. You could delete your profiles.json file and we'll re-generate it with the Ubuntu profile now that you have Ubuntu installed.

This is a scenario that'll get better with #754.
