📋 Description or bullet point outline (if proposing new content)

I followed the guide on Tauri using a Windows 11 laptop and Debian on WSL2. Everything worked fine, except for two things:

1. On Step 4 I found that I had to execute that command even if using Debian
2. After following all steps and executing the build command, it would fail with an error similar to:
   Failed to find OpenSSL development headers..

I was able to fix that issue by adding the following line to the /src-tauri/Cargo.toml file:
openssl-sys = {version = "0.9.66", features = ["vendored"]}
