Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific examples (PowerShell, CLI) are provided before or in greater detail than Linux equivalents. PowerShell commands are given for Windows VMs but not for Linux VMs in some sections. Windows registry keys and Windows Update service are discussed in detail, while Linux-specific configuration and troubleshooting are less emphasized. The 'Next steps' section links only to Windows VM management, omitting Linux. Some CLI and PowerShell examples for Linux are missing or less detailed.
Recommendations
- Provide PowerShell and CLI examples for Linux VMs wherever Windows examples are given.
- Ensure Linux-specific configuration and troubleshooting steps are as detailed as Windows (e.g., agent requirements, disabling automatic updates).
- Add a 'Next steps' link for Linux VM management alongside the Windows link.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, rather than Windows-first ordering.
- Include Linux-specific tools and patterns (such as package managers, systemd, etc.) where relevant.
- Review all sections for parity in depth and clarity between Windows and Linux content.
