Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. The introductory text and table overwhelmingly focus on Windows policies, PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC), and Windows-specific modules and tools. Windows policies are listed first and in far greater number than Linux policies. PowerShell and Windows DSC modules are referenced as the primary or only method for configuration, with little to no mention of Linux-native equivalents or modules. Linux examples are sparse, with only two Linux-related policies present, and there is no guidance or parity in module/tooling references for Linux.
Recommendations
  • Add more Linux-specific policy examples and ensure Linux policies are represented proportionally to Windows policies.
  • Include references to Linux-native configuration management tools or modules (e.g., Ansible, Chef, native shell scripts, or Linux DSC equivalents) where applicable.
  • In the introductory text, mention both Windows and Linux approaches equally, and provide guidance for reviewing Linux configurations, not just PowerShell scripts.
  • Where a policy applies to both Windows and Linux, provide side-by-side examples or clearly indicate the differences in implementation.
  • Ensure that for every Windows example or module, a Linux equivalent is provided if available, or explicitly state if not supported.
  • Avoid using 'Windows' as the default or primary context; instead, structure the documentation to treat both platforms equally.
