  1. Add note for setting Ubuntu as default distro 

    It's possible for Ubuntu to not be the default distro. In this case, the
error of `curl: not found` can be unhelpful to new users. Add a note
explaining how to fix it.

  3. Update Windows launch instructions 

    Windows 10/11 comes with a search bar/icon in the task bar that opens
the Start menu, so if the user doesn't know what "Start menu" is, the
verb "searching" should provide a visual hint.

  4. Open macOS Terminal with Spotlight instead of Launchpad 

    Some users may not have Launchpad in the Dock - it can be easily removed
by drag and drop. Spotlight in the menu bar is more universal¹, plus
users who know the hotkey (CMD+space) can use it if desired.

¹ it can still be removed with 3rd party apps

  5. Order steps sequentially 

    This should be a more intuitive flow for new users.

  6. Update WSL home dir snippet 

    The previous recommendation was to expose the Windows home directory
under the WSL directory. I thought this would be a practical approach to
the difference in home directories, but I'm not a WSL user so I can't
verify that idea. Installing `wslu` is also a bit more complicated
nowadays.¹

Instead of a hard recommendation, simply describe the difference in home
directories and let the user decide what to do.
