Code Review

This pull request updates the compute-engine.mdx documentation by removing an instruction to switch to the root user. This is a positive change that promotes better security practices by encouraging the use of sudo for specific commands rather than operating with a persistent root shell. The change improves the quality and safety of the guide.
