Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples for creating pools with extensions, but there is a noticeable bias towards Windows in several areas. The list of supported extensions includes more Windows-specific extensions (such as Antimalware, Diagnostics, DSC, and multiple GPU drivers for Windows), while Linux equivalents are fewer or missing. Windows tools and concepts (like certificateStoreLocation: LocalMachine, keyExportable, and references to Windows-specific extensions) are mentioned explicitly, and some troubleshooting and extension documentation links prioritize Windows. There is also a lack of parity in example depth and troubleshooting guidance for Linux compared to Windows.
Recommendations
- Expand the list of supported extensions to include more Linux equivalents where possible, or clarify parity gaps.
- Provide troubleshooting steps and log locations for Linux extensions, similar to those given for Windows.
- Ensure that Linux examples are as detailed as Windows examples, especially for advanced configuration options.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (such as systemd, journald, or Linux certificate stores) where relevant, and provide guidance for their use.
- When listing extensions, alternate between Windows and Linux or group them by OS to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Add explicit notes about any functionality that is only available on Windows, and suggest Linux alternatives or workarounds.
