2022-12-03Documentation: Update WSL QEMU Installation Requirementssno2
As Evil stated in the Discord, WSL users must install the DLL libraries with their QEMU Installation or else they will receive obscure errors about the syntax of the Meta/run.sh file as shown in SerenityOS#14033.
2021-09-10Documentation: Clarify Windows build instructionsSam Atkins
People seem to easily miss the "Setting up build tools" section, so I have moved that step above the filesystem information and linked directly to BuildInstructions.md to hopefully make it harder to skip. Also, added mention of `\\wsl$` since that regularly comes up in Discord.

2021-07-10Documentation: Remove another redundant chapterGunnar Beutner
Clearly nobody has used this in a while because cpuinfo.c for GCC 11 does not contain the code that's mentioned here.

These workarounds are already mentioned in the "Hardware acceleration" section.
2021-07-10Documentation: Suggest using x86_64 QEMU on WindowsGunnar Beutner
The x86_64 QEMU binary supports both i386 as well as x86_64 guests. By using the x86_64 binary users won't have to change anything when switching between i386 and x86_64 builds.
