docs: update wsl installation procedure (#9968 )

This is a 🔦 documentation change. ## Summary The install documentation for WSL offers to install Ruby through BrightBox. However, BrightBox does not support Ubuntu Jammy (which is the default for latest WSL builds). Instead, this commit just redirects the WSL user to the Ubuntu installation procedure to avoid duplicate documentation.
fix: Run release-please workflow only in jekyll/jekyll repo (#9969 )

-with GitHub Pages you can use GitHub Actions.
+When building a Jekyll site with GitHub Pages, Jekyll runs in an environment restricted for security
+reasons, yet containing numerous [whitelisted plugins and themes][ghp-whitelist] to make it simpler
+to get a site set up.
+
+The only workaround to have control over the build environment and gemset yet use GitHub Pages to
+host the site was previously by building elsewhere and pushing the built directory contents to the
+`gh-pages` branch on your repository.
+
+However, GitHub now provides you with the option to use their in-house CI/CD product named
+*GitHub Actions* to *build and deploy (host)* your Jekyll site with complete control over the build
+environment and gemset.

 ## Advantages of using Actions

 ### Control over gemset

- **Jekyll version** --- Instead of using the classic GitHub Pages provided version at `3.9.3`, you
-  can use any version of Jekyll you want. For example `{{site.version}}`, or point directly to the
-  repository.
- **Plugins** --- You can use any Jekyll plugins irrespective of them being on the
-  [supported versions][ghp-whitelist] list, even `*.rb` files placed in the `_plugins` directory
-  of your site.
- **Themes** --- While using a custom theme is possible without Actions, it is now simpler.

+- **Plugins** --- You can use any Jekyll plugins irrespective of them being whitelisted by GitHub,

+- **Themes** --- While using a custom theme is possible without Actions, it is now possible to use
+  themes depending on features introduced in newer versions of Jekyll.
+
+{: .note .info}
+If you are migrating from the classic flow but want to keep using a GitHub-hosted theme, you may use
+the [jekyll-remote-theme][remote-theme] plugin, add any required dependencies of your theme
+(previously bundled by default) into your `_config.yml` and `Gemfile` and set the
+`remote_theme: <owner>/<repo_name>` theme repository slug correctly in your `_config.yml`.

+author: ashmaroli
+version: 4.4.0
+category: release

+
+Greetings Jekyllers, Jekyll v4.4.0 has been published!
+
+This release comes with the following notable changes since v4.3.x:
+
+* Liquid tag `highlight` now allows marking specific lines in the code-block.
+* Allow customizing the port that the vendored livereload script listens to, either via command-line flag
+  `--livereload-port NUM` or via setting desired value to key `livereload_port` in configuration file.
+* Acknowledge paths passed to CLI flag `--livereload-ignore` or list of paths defined under configuration key
+  `livereload_ignore` in order prevent automatic browser-refreshes on change to those paths.
+* Support for Ruby versions older than Ruby 2.7.0 has been dropped. Regardless, we recommend using Ruby 3.2.0 or newer
+  to reduce inconveniences with installing newer versions of various plugins for Jekyll.
+* In order to improve the out-of-the-box experience with newer versions of Ruby, we have added gems `base64`, `csv` as
+  runtime-dependencies. Consequently, those gems will be automatically installed with Jekyll and made available for use
+  on issuing `bundle exec jekyll <command>`. *Users on older versions of Jekyll will have to manually add the gems to
+  their Gemfile to resolve dependency errors*.
+* Gem `json` has been added as a runtime-dependency as well to provide consistent behavior across different platforms and
+  different Ruby versions.
+* Version constraint on `mercenary` gem has been relaxed to automatically allow future releases.
+
+Special thanks to my co-maintainers and members from our community who were instrumental in improving Jekyll codebase,
+documentation and development workflow since the release of v4.3:
