Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All example commands use Windows tools (Robocopy, DataBoxDiskSplitCopy.exe, DataBoxDiskValidation.cmd), and instructions are written for Windows environments (e.g., File Explorer, drive letters, Command Prompt). Linux support is only briefly mentioned, with no equivalent Linux commands, tools, or workflows provided. The Split Copy and Validation tools are explicitly stated as Windows-only, and no Linux alternatives or parity guidance is offered. The use of Windows terminology and screenshots further reinforces this bias.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for copying data (e.g., using rsync, cp, or smbclient).
- Document Linux-compatible workflows for checksum validation (e.g., using sha256sum, md5sum, or other open-source tools).
- List and describe any Linux-supported Data Box Disk tools, or clarify which steps can be performed on Linux and how.
- Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments to illustrate parity.
- Explicitly state any limitations for Linux users and offer workarounds or alternatives.
- Present instructions and examples for both Windows and Linux side-by-side, or clearly separate them by platform.
