Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it refers to installing the gateway on a 'local computer' without specifying platform, but subsequent references and troubleshooting steps (e.g., restarting the 'gateway Windows service account') imply Windows as the default/only supported platform. PowerShell is repeatedly mentioned as the automation tool for gateway management, with no mention of Linux shell or CLI alternatives. There are no examples or instructions for Linux installations, nor any reference to Linux-specific tools or troubleshooting steps. The documentation also refers to Windows service management patterns and omits parity for Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform support for the on-premises data gateway, including whether Linux is supported and provide installation instructions for Linux if available.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for gateway installation, management, and troubleshooting (e.g., systemd service management, shell commands).
- Include automation examples using Azure CLI or Bash scripts alongside PowerShell, or clarify if PowerShell Core is required/supported on Linux.
- Avoid referring only to Windows service management; if Linux is supported, include equivalent steps for restarting gateway services on Linux.
- Add notes or sections clarifying any platform limitations, and ensure that Linux users are not excluded from the documented workflows.
