Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and PowerShell workflows. Windows and PowerShell examples are presented first and in greater detail, with Linux instructions often appearing later and relying on Windows/PowerShell tooling for onboarding. Many steps for Linux require a Windows machine with PowerShell to generate configurations, and Linux-specific tooling and examples are minimal or secondary. Some features and cmdlets are explicitly Windows-only, and Linux users are often directed to use Python scripts or PowerShell from Windows hosts.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first and Linux-native examples for onboarding and configuration, using Bash, Python, or native Linux tools.
- Document how to generate DSC metaconfigurations entirely on Linux, without requiring a Windows/PowerShell host.
- Clarify which steps or cmdlets are Windows-only and offer equivalent Linux alternatives where possible.
- Expand Linux-specific troubleshooting and operational guidance, including common Linux issues and their resolution.
- Ensure parity in example depth and clarity between Windows and Linux sections, including screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
- Highlight any limitations or retirement notices for Linux support at the top of the document, and link to migration or alternative solutions for Linux users.
