Pull request overview
This PR updates the error message shown when WSL2 cannot start due to disabled virtualization, improving clarity and user-friendliness.
Changes:
- Revised the error message to be more specific (stating "WSL2 is unable to start" rather than "not supported")
- Changed "BIOS" to the more accurate term "firmware settings" to cover both BIOS and UEFI systems
- Improved readability with better formatting and more natural language
