Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific guest configuration assignments (e.g., 'WindowsPendingReboot') are featured without Linux equivalents, and Windows-centric terms and patterns appear before or instead of Linux ones. Most examples and queries are either generic or Windows-focused, with only one explicit Linux example ('installed_application_linux'). There is a lack of parity in showing Linux guest configuration assignments, such as pending reboot or compliance checks for Linux machines.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux guest configuration assignment examples (e.g., 'LinuxPendingReboot') wherever Windows-specific ones are shown.
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux assignment names are referenced side-by-side in queries and explanations.
- Provide context or notes on how queries apply to both Windows and Linux machines, or clarify any platform-specific limitations.
- Expand examples to include common Linux compliance scenarios, not just installed applications.
- Review terminology and ordering to avoid Windows-first presentation; alternate or parallelize Windows and Linux references.
