Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: troubleshooting steps and examples are frequently presented for Windows first or exclusively, with PowerShell commands and Windows-specific tools (e.g., registry edits, event logs, config files in Program Files) dominating the instructions. Linux troubleshooting is covered in a separate section, but is less detailed, and many scenarios (e.g., corrupt cache, proxy issues, certificate handling) are only described for Windows or with Windows-first guidance. Some issues provide only Windows examples or mention Windows tools before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Ensure that troubleshooting scenarios are presented in parallel for both Windows and Linux, with equivalent detail and step-by-step instructions.
- Provide Linux-specific commands and file paths wherever Windows PowerShell commands or registry edits are given (e.g., systemd/service management, config file locations, log file locations).
- When referencing tools (e.g., event logs, registry, config files), include Linux equivalents (e.g., journalctl, /var/log, config files in /etc or /opt).
- Avoid presenting Windows solutions or examples before Linux ones; consider grouping by scenario and providing both OS instructions side-by-side.
- Expand Linux troubleshooting coverage to match the depth and specificity of Windows sections, including common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, SELinux/AppArmor, systemd service failures, certificate management).
- Where PowerShell is used for Windows, provide Bash or Python script examples for Linux.
- Review all scenarios for OS parity and add missing Linux examples where only Windows is covered.
