Summary
The documentation page shows several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, robocopy, Explorer, Windows VM Guest Agent) and commands are mentioned, sometimes exclusively or before Linux equivalents. Examples and workarounds often use Windows paths, commands, or utilities, with limited or missing Linux alternatives. For instance, mounting NFS shares is shown with a Windows path, and VM management focuses on Windows VM Guest Agent and PowerShell commands. Linux-specific instructions or parity are lacking in several areas.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific commands and examples, such as shell commands for VM management and NFS mounting.
  • Include Linux tools (e.g., rsync, cp) alongside Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer in file copy workarounds.
  • Add PowerShell alternatives for Linux (e.g., Bash scripts) where PowerShell is referenced for device management.
  • Ensure that instructions for VM lifecycle management, custom script extensions, and agent troubleshooting include both Windows and Linux VM scenarios.
  • Clearly indicate when a workaround or feature is platform-specific, and offer guidance for both Windows and Linux users.
