Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell cmdlets, RDP, Windows services) are mentioned as primary or sole solutions, often without equivalent Linux alternatives or examples. In some cases, instructions and examples are provided only for Windows environments (e.g., mounting NFS shares, troubleshooting VM extensions, using PowerShell for device management), while Linux methods are missing or referenced less prominently. This can hinder Linux users from following the documentation effectively.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific examples, such as using 'cp' or 'rsync' instead of 'robocopy', and Linux file managers instead of Explorer.
  • Include Linux command-line instructions (e.g., 'mount' for NFS shares, SSH for VM access, systemctl/service management) alongside PowerShell and Windows tools.
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps for VM extensions and device management include both Windows (PowerShell, RDP) and Linux (SSH, bash, systemctl) workflows.
  • When referencing tools (e.g., sqlcmd), clarify installation and usage for both Windows and Linux clients.
  • Avoid presenting Windows solutions first or exclusively; strive for parity by listing both platforms or using neutral, cross-platform approaches where possible.
