Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas: authentication options and examples prioritize Windows authentication, troubleshooting and configuration steps exclusively reference Windows tools (SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, Windows Firewall), and there are no Linux-specific instructions or examples for connecting to SQL Server or configuring the environment. Linux equivalents for remote access, firewall configuration, and service management are absent.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific instructions and examples for connecting to SQL Server, including using tools like sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio, or ODBC.
- Include troubleshooting steps for Linux environments, such as configuring SQL Server on Linux, managing firewall rules with iptables or firewalld, and enabling TCP/IP via mssql-conf.
- Provide authentication examples relevant to Linux (e.g., using SQL authentication, Kerberos, or managed identity where supported).
- Reference cross-platform tools (Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) before or alongside Windows-only tools (SSMS, Configuration Manager).
- Clearly indicate when a feature or step is Windows-only, and provide Linux alternatives where possible.
