Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific instructions, tools, and troubleshooting steps. Windows prerequisites (such as installing tar.exe and OpenSSH via Windows-specific methods) are detailed, while Linux equivalents are not explained. PowerShell is the primary scripting language, with Bash provided as a secondary option. Windows instructions and retry commands are presented before Linux, and Windows tools (Set-ExecutionPolicy, WinRM ports, copying binaries from Windows 11/Server) are referenced without Linux alternatives. Performance warnings for Linux are included, but not substantiated or explained.
Recommendations
  • Provide equal detail for Linux prerequisites, including installation steps for required tools (tar, OpenSSH) on common Linux distributions.
  • List Linux instructions and examples alongside Windows, not after them, or use a neutral order.
  • Offer troubleshooting and retry commands for Linux with the same level of detail as Windows.
  • Avoid language that discourages Linux usage (e.g., vague performance warnings) unless substantiated; provide guidance for optimizing Linux deployments.
  • Reference Linux-native tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, systemd, package managers) where appropriate.
  • Ensure all steps (such as copying files, configuring permissions, network setup) have Linux equivalents documented.
