Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples use Windows images, PowerShell, and WinGet (Windows-specific tools). There are no examples or mentions of Linux images, Bash, or Linux-native tools. The schema and built-in tasks are described exclusively in terms of Windows usage, with PowerShell as the default scripting language and WinGet as the package manager, both of which are unavailable on Linux. No Linux equivalents or cross-platform options are provided.
Recommendations
- Add examples using Linux images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in imagedefinition.yaml.
- Introduce built-in tasks for Bash or shell scripts, and document their usage.
- Provide Linux-native package manager examples (e.g., apt, yum) alongside WinGet.
- Clarify which features/tasks are Windows-only and which are cross-platform.
- Present Windows and Linux examples side-by-side to improve parity.
- Mention any limitations or differences for Linux environments explicitly.
