Local setup: Suggestions to improve section about conda

Bug description

Source of issue: https://github.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch/tree/main/setup/01_optional-python-setup-preferences#1-download-and-install-miniforge

At the end of first step, it is mentioned:

If you work with many packages, Conda can be slow because of its thorough but complex dependency resolution process and the handling of large package indexes and metadata. To speed up Conda, you can use the following setting, which switches to a more efficient Rust reimplementation for solving dependencies:

conda config --set solver libmamba

A few things to a note:

• Miniforge comes with its own copy of mamba, therefore one doesn't even have to use conda.
• Even if one wishes to use conda, it is not necessary to set the solver to libmamba if the version is >= 23.10.0, because libmamba is the default solver. (https://conda.org/blog/2023-11-06-conda-23-10-0-release/)
• Finally, libsolv, around which lib-mamba-solver lives as a Python wrapper, is primarily written in C. (https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv, https://github.com/conda/conda-libmamba-solver?tab=readme-ov-file#what-is-this-exactly)

What operating system are you using?

None

Where do you run your code?

None

Thanks for the comment! Ah yes, setting libmamba manually shouldn't be necessary anymore then, and I can take out this section because it's redundant now. (Not sure why I thought of Rust...). Anyways, thanks for letting me know, I updated it.
