I have updated the README.md to include a dedicated "Cross-Platform Setup & Troubleshooting" section.
Key Additions:
Error Explanation: Clarified why dbus and sugar-launch fail on non-Sugar environments.
Platform Matrix: Added a table comparing capabilities across Native Windows, WSL2, and Linux.
Alternative Testing Workflow: Documented how to verify code changes using python -m py_compile and individual module testing when the full Sugar Shell is unavailable.
Why this is important?
This documentation improvement reduces friction for GSoC aspirants and contributors who may not have a native Linux/Sugar setup but want to contribute to the GenAI, TTS, or Translation logic of the activity.
Changes Made
Updated README.md with troubleshooting steps and platform-specific guidance.mn
