Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and patterns (such as RDP and DPAPI) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents; code examples and explanations often use Windows-centric commands (e.g., 'cmd /c echo hello') and VM images; and some scenarios (like secret sharing) reference Windows-specific APIs without Linux alternatives. While Linux is addressed in some sections, Windows examples and terminology are generally presented first or exclusively, and Linux-specific guidance is less detailed.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or parallel examples for all code snippets, including command lines (e.g., use 'bash -c "echo hello"' alongside 'cmd /c echo hello').
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, Linux file permissions, GPG for secrets) wherever Windows tools like DPAPI or RDP are referenced, and explain their usage.
  • Ensure that introductory and scenario explanations do not default to Windows terminology; present both Windows and Linux options equally.
  • Expand Linux-specific guidance, such as how to share secrets or configure user accounts using Linux-native methods.
  • Add explicit Linux examples in sections where only Windows is shown (e.g., running tasks under named user accounts with elevated access).
