Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All code examples and workflows are exclusively presented using Windows PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (e.g., WindowsFeature resource, C: paths, PowerShell cmdlets). There is no mention of Linux equivalents, nor are any Linux-specific examples or tools provided. The documentation repeatedly refers to Windows PowerShell as the primary or only method for compiling DSC configurations, and references to Linux support are limited to a retirement announcement, with no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add examples for compiling DSC configurations on Linux, using cross-platform PowerShell Core or native Linux tools where possible.
- Include Linux-specific resources and patterns (e.g., using DSC resources for Linux, Linux file paths, and node configuration examples targeting Linux VMs).
- Clearly indicate platform compatibility for each method and cmdlet, specifying whether they work on Windows, Linux, or both.
- Provide guidance for Linux users affected by the retirement, including migration paths or alternatives.
- Ensure that documentation structure does not always present Windows methods first; consider parallel presentation of Windows and Linux workflows.
