Summary:
The documentation generally provides both Windows and Linux instructions, but there is a noticeable Windows-first bias. Windows instructions and tools (such as the GUI and PowerShell commands) are often presented before Linux equivalents, and some troubleshooting steps only provide Windows-specific commands (e.g., PowerShell's Test-NetConnection) without Linux alternatives. The Hybrid Connection Manager GUI is only available on Windows, and this is clearly stated, but the documentation could do more to offer parity in troubleshooting and examples for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Present Windows and Linux instructions/examples in parallel or with equal prominence, rather than listing Windows first by default.
- For troubleshooting steps, provide equivalent Linux commands (e.g., suggest using 'nc' or 'telnet' for TCP connectivity tests instead of only PowerShell's Test-NetConnection).
- Where GUI tools are Windows-only, offer enhanced CLI or alternative Linux workflows and highlight them as first-class options.
- In sections where only Windows tools or patterns are mentioned (such as service management or firewall configuration), add Linux equivalents (e.g., systemctl for service management, ufw/iptables for firewall).
- Ensure all code snippets and walkthroughs have both Windows and Linux versions where applicable.
- Consider adding a summary table at the start of each section indicating OS support and tool availability.
