Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows update instructions and tools (e.g., Registry Editor, .msi installers, command prompt) are presented first and in greater detail, with Linux instructions often appearing later or being less comprehensive. Appliance component update procedures and troubleshooting are almost exclusively described using Windows tools and patterns, with little to no mention of Linux equivalents or parity. Some manual update examples and troubleshooting steps are missing for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections to ensure equal visibility.
  • Include Linux-specific procedures for appliance component updates, such as using shell commands, package managers, or configuration files instead of Windows Registry Editor and .msi installers.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and examples for Linux environments, including how to check versions, resolve blocking issues, and verify updates.
  • Avoid using Windows terminology (e.g., Registry Editor, command prompt) exclusively; provide Linux equivalents (e.g., editing config files, using terminal commands).
  • Ensure that all command-line examples and update procedures are equally detailed for both platforms.
