Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell is the only scripting example provided for migration, with no Bash or Linux-native alternatives. Windows-specific concepts (services, registry, MSI installer) are mentioned more frequently and in greater detail than Linux equivalents. The prerequisites and instructions for scripting focus on PowerShell installation and modules, which are more familiar to Windows users. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples, and the migration steps and screenshots are presented in a way that assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and workflows.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux users, alongside PowerShell.
- Include Linux-specific migration steps and screenshots (e.g., using Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native tools).
- Clarify Linux agent removal procedures and limitations, especially for agents installed via package managers (apt, yum, etc.).
- List Linux data types and migration considerations with equal prominence to Windows (e.g., daemons, config files).
- Add tabs or sections for Linux-specific instructions wherever Windows instructions are given.
- Reference Linux documentation and troubleshooting resources as prominently as Windows ones.
