Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows configuration steps and examples are presented first and in greater detail, including screenshots and explicit PowerShell commands. Windows-specific tools (diskpart, PowerShell, registry editing) are described with step-by-step instructions, while Linux instructions are more generic and lack distribution-specific examples or screenshots. Linux configuration steps rely on illustrative examples for RedHat but do not provide equivalent detail for other distributions. There are also missing Linux command examples for some steps (e.g., checking agent status), and Windows tooling is referenced more frequently and prominently.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux sections, or present both in parallel to avoid 'Windows first' bias.
  • Provide Linux command-line examples for all manual steps, including agent status checks and network configuration, for multiple distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian), not just RedHat.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output examples for Linux steps, similar to those provided for Windows.
  • Reference Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., use 'lsblk', 'systemctl', 'nmcli', etc.) and avoid assuming familiarity with Windows-only utilities.
  • Expand Linux instructions to cover common troubleshooting scenarios and manual preparation steps for distributions other than RedHat.
  • Ensure that links to Linux documentation are as prominent and detailed as those for Windows.
