Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several workarounds and examples reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell cmdlets, Windows services), and some instructions are provided only for Windows environments. Linux equivalents are often missing or are mentioned after Windows-specific guidance. In some cases, only Windows command syntax is shown, and Linux/Unix alternatives are not provided.
Recommendations
  • For every Windows-specific tool or command (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell cmdlets), provide equivalent Linux/Unix commands (e.g., rsync, cp, bash commands, systemctl).
  • When showing mount command examples, include both Windows (e.g., net use or mount in Windows) and Linux (e.g., mount -t nfs ...) syntax.
  • For troubleshooting steps involving Windows services or processes (e.g., waappagent.exe, Get-Service), add parallel instructions for Linux VMs if applicable (e.g., checking systemd services, using ps or systemctl).
  • Avoid using Windows tools as the default or only example; present Linux and Windows examples side by side or in separate sections.
  • Explicitly mention when an issue or workaround is platform-specific (Windows or Linux), and clarify if the guidance applies to both or only one.
  • Audit the documentation for any other areas where Windows terminology or tools are assumed, and ensure Linux parity in all technical instructions.
