Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a significant Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps, examples, and tools are predominantly PowerShell-based, with Windows-specific cmdlets and patterns presented as the default or only option. Linux scenarios are rarely mentioned and typically appear only as exceptions or in isolated sections. Many troubleshooting steps, such as log analysis, certificate management, and node registration, lack Linux-specific guidance or examples, and Windows tools (e.g., xDscDiagnostics, w32tm) are referenced without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples alongside Windows instructions, especially for log analysis, certificate management, and node registration.
- Include Linux command-line equivalents (e.g., bash, systemd, OpenSSL) for tasks currently shown only in PowerShell.
- Reference Linux DSC extension documentation and tools where relevant, and clarify differences in behavior or error messages between platforms.
- Ensure that Linux onboarding and error scenarios are covered with the same level of detail as Windows, including portal and CLI steps.
- Avoid presenting Windows tools and patterns first or exclusively; structure content to address both platforms in parallel where possible.
