Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific examples and references (such as PowerShell and Windows VM tutorials) are provided without equivalent Linux examples; Windows tools and patterns (like bcdedit, netdom, and RDP) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux alternatives; and guidance for Linux VMs is minimal or absent in key restore scenarios. This may hinder Linux users from fully understanding or utilizing the restore process.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and guidance alongside Windows instructions, especially in sections discussing restore scenarios, post-restore steps, and special configurations.
- Include references to Linux tools and commands (e.g., using SSH, cloud-init, or Linux disk mounting procedures) where Windows tools like PowerShell, bcdedit, or netdom are mentioned.
- Ensure that links to documentation for Linux VMs (such as restoring to availability sets, attaching disks, or resetting passwords) are present and as prominent as Windows links.
- Add troubleshooting steps and post-restore actions specific to common Linux distributions, including guidance for handling cloud-init, SSH key management, and agent installation.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows procedures are given equal prominence, or clearly indicate when a step is OS-specific.
