Summary
The documentation displays a Windows bias by referencing Windows VMs and Windows-specific features (such as Registry and Software) more prominently and earlier than Linux equivalents. The prerequisites link to Windows VM creation, and examples for enabling Change Tracking via the portal focus on generic VM selection without clarifying Linux-specific steps or differences. CLI instructions for extension installation do include both Linux and Windows, but Windows is listed second. There is a lack of Linux-specific portal screenshots or guidance, and Windows-centric terminology (Registry, Software) is used without Linux parity (e.g., package managers, config files).
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux VM creation prerequisites and links alongside Windows.
  • Provide Linux-specific portal screenshots and step-by-step instructions, especially where UI or workflow differs.
  • Ensure Linux features (such as tracking changes to config files, installed packages) are described with parity to Windows Registry/Software.
  • List Linux examples before or alongside Windows examples to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
  • Clarify any differences in Change Tracking capabilities or UI for Linux VMs in the portal.
  • Use neutral terminology or provide Linux equivalents when referencing Windows-specific features.
