Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows instructions and tools (such as the GUI and PowerShell) are often mentioned first or exclusively, with Linux alternatives provided later or not at all. Troubleshooting and connectivity testing examples use Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell's Test-NetConnection) without equivalent Linux commands. The Hybrid Connection Manager GUI is only available on Windows, and this is not always clearly signposted early. Some management and troubleshooting steps assume a Windows environment, and Linux users are sometimes directed to less-featured CLI alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Ensure all command-line examples (e.g., connectivity tests) are provided for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash), such as including 'nc', 'curl', or 'telnet' commands alongside 'Test-NetConnection'.
- When listing instructions or tools, avoid always listing Windows first; alternate or present both platforms in parallel.
- Clearly state at the top of relevant sections when a feature (like the GUI) is Windows-only, and provide equivalent CLI workflows for Linux users.
- In troubleshooting sections, provide Linux-native diagnostic steps (e.g., 'nslookup', 'dig', 'nc', 'curl') alongside Windows ones.
- Where screenshots or UI steps are Windows-only, provide CLI or text-based alternatives for Linux users.
- Review for any missing Linux-specific guidance, especially for installation, upgrades, and management, and ensure parity with Windows instructions.
