Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. Most troubleshooting steps, examples, and tool references are centered around PowerShell DSC and Windows-specific commands, such as PowerShell cmdlets and Windows event logs. Windows tools (e.g., xDscDiagnostics, w32tm) and patterns are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents. Linux troubleshooting is only briefly addressed in a single scenario, with no Linux-specific commands, logs, or diagnostic tools provided. There is a lack of parity in examples and guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples for each scenario, including relevant shell commands and log locations.
- Reference Linux DSC agent logs and provide guidance on how to collect and interpret them.
- Include Linux equivalents for PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., using shell scripts or DSC agent commands on Linux).
- Mention Linux tools and patterns alongside Windows tools, not only in a separate scenario.
- Ensure that guidance for module management, certificate handling, and network troubleshooting includes Linux instructions.
- Provide parity in onboarding, registration, and error resolution steps for both Windows and Linux nodes.
