Summary
The documentation page demonstrates several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, PowerShell cmdlets) are mentioned as primary solutions or examples, sometimes without Linux equivalents. Powershell and Windows VM troubleshooting steps are detailed, while similar Linux guidance is sparse or missing. In some cases, Windows commands are provided before or instead of Linux alternatives, and Windows-centric terminology is used in examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific commands and tools (e.g., show how to use rsync or cp instead of robocopy/Explorer for file copying).
  • Include Linux troubleshooting steps alongside Windows VM instructions, especially for VM guest agent and custom script extension issues.
  • Add Bash or Linux shell examples where only PowerShell or Windows commands are given (e.g., for checking VM status, restarting services, connecting to VMs).
  • Mention Linux tools (e.g., SSH, systemctl, journalctl) in parity with Windows tools (e.g., RDP, Get-Process, Restart-Service).
  • Ensure that documentation sections do not default to Windows-first examples; alternate or parallelize Windows and Linux instructions.
  • Clarify when a workaround or tool is Windows-only, and provide Linux alternatives if available.
