Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias: the majority of policy definitions and examples are Windows-specific, with only a handful of Linux-related entries. The documentation references PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) and PowerShell modules as the primary configuration mechanism, which is inherently Windows-centric. Linux policies are few, and there are no Linux-specific configuration module links or detailed parity in examples. The language and tooling focus on Windows patterns and tools, with Linux support appearing as an afterthought.
Recommendations
- Increase the number and visibility of Linux-specific policy definitions and configuration examples.
- Provide equivalent Linux configuration module links and documentation, not just for baseline policies but for other common scenarios (e.g., password policies, service status, certificate management).
- Balance the order and presentation of Windows and Linux policies, or group them by OS to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Reference and link to Linux-native configuration tools or modules (such as Ansible, Chef, or native Linux DSC resources) where appropriate.
- Clarify in the introduction that PowerShell DSC is primarily for Windows, and explicitly mention the configuration approach for Linux systems.
- Where a policy is Windows-only, consider providing a Linux equivalent or noting the lack of parity.
