Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows credentials and permissions are described first and in greater detail than Linux equivalents, with explicit mention of Windows/Domain accounts and tools like SCCM, Active Directory, and File Server roles. Linux is mentioned as 'non-domain' and with less detail, and examples for Linux-specific discovery (e.g., file servers) are missing. Windows-centric tools and patterns (IIS, RDP, SCCM, Exchange Server, Active Directory) are listed before or instead of Linux alternatives. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples, especially for roles/features and file server discovery, and no Linux command-line or shell examples are provided.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions for credential setup, permissions, and discovery, including shell commands and configuration file references.
- Include Linux file server discovery details (e.g., Samba, NFS) and clarify support for Linux-based file servers.
- Balance the order and detail of Windows and Linux instructions, mentioning Linux alternatives alongside Windows tools (e.g., Samba/NFS with Windows File Server, OpenLDAP with Active Directory).
- Add explicit Linux role/feature discovery instructions and examples, similar to the Windows 'Roles and features' tab.
- Where Windows tools (SCCM, RDP, IIS, Exchange) are mentioned, also list Linux equivalents (e.g., Landscape, SSH, Apache/Nginx, Postfix/Dovecot) and provide parity in guidance.
