Summary

The documentation page presents security recommendations for both Linux and Windows images. However, there is evidence of Windows bias: Windows terminology (e.g., 'Windows Server roles') appears in the Linux section, Windows-specific tools (BitLocker) are mentioned without Linux equivalents, and some recommendations (e.g., auto-update, drive encryption) are detailed for Windows but lack Linux-specific guidance or examples. Additionally, some checks are described with more specificity for Windows than for Linux.

Recommendations

Remove or rephrase Windows-specific terms from the Linux section (e.g., 'Windows Server roles').
Add Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools and features, such as recommending LUKS or dm-crypt for drive encryption.
Provide Linux-specific guidance for auto-updating security patches (e.g., using unattended-upgrades or dnf-automatic).
Ensure that recommendations for removing sensitive information reference Linux-specific files (e.g., /etc/hosts, .bash_history) alongside Windows equivalents.
Balance the level of detail between Windows and Linux sections, ensuring both have actionable, platform-specific examples.
