FAQ: «wsl --install printing help on Windows 10» (13/10) This PR
Undergrad TAs, the laptop FAQ Nothing to update in the guide

This PR

  • Chapter 1 «Συχνά λάθη» gets a new item. If wsl --install prints only Usage: wsl.exe ..., run wsl --update and then wsl --install -d Ubuntu (wsl --list --online lists the distros). The item links the FAQ question «Στήνω WSL στα Windows και κάτι δεν δουλεύει».

make check passes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The course FAQ (13/10) explains why `wsl --install` can print only its
usage on Windows 10 and how to install Ubuntu explicitly. Chapter 1 asks
students to install WSL, so its common mistakes now cover this and link
the FAQ.
