c566aabe16 Restyle top README and add next-steps pointer
- Convert the modules list into a Sections table with topic and
  description columns, matching the structure of the
  cli-walkthrough README for consistency across the two repos.
- Add a Next steps section pointing readers to cli-walkthrough
  as the natural sequel once they are comfortable with their
  machine and can pull updates with git.
- Trim the "How to use this guide" section into a shorter
  Getting started block, again matching cli-walkthrough.

0c6e919bdd Initial commit: computing-setup
A two-module standalone guide for setting up a new machine for
scientific computing work:

- 01-know-your-machine: hardware and OS inspection. Reads the
  physical machine first via macOS/Linux terminals or Windows
  PowerShell; a separate section walks through the WSL VM and
  how its allocations differ from the host hardware.
- 02-git-basics: pull-focused git workflow. Install, configure
  identity, clone a public repo, pull updates. Authentication
  and pushing are deferred to a future collaboration module.

Includes top-level WSL.md (copied from cli-walkthrough) for
Windows users who need the Linux environment.
