Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias through several patterns: Windows updates and security fixes are highlighted as a key feature; PowerShell is the only CLI mentioned for device configuration and troubleshooting (e.g., MetalLB configuration, IoT Edge commands, VM/network management); workarounds and examples for VM management and troubleshooting are exclusively Windows-centric (RDP, Windows services, Windows VM Guest Agent, PowerShell cmdlets); file copy tools like robocopy and Explorer are suggested without Linux alternatives; and SQL database creation steps reference Windows tools (sqlcmd) without Linux parity. There are few, if any, Linux-specific instructions, examples, or tool recommendations, and Linux CLI approaches are not presented alongside Windows ones.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all CLI and troubleshooting steps, such as bash, SSH, and Linux-native commands for device management and configuration.
  • Include Linux-based examples for tasks like SQL database creation (e.g., using sqlcmd on Linux, or alternative tools), file copying (e.g., rsync, cp), and NFS mounting (showing Linux mount syntax).
  • When referencing PowerShell or Windows tools, also mention and document how to perform the same actions on Linux systems.
  • Avoid presenting Windows solutions first or exclusively; structure documentation so that both Windows and Linux approaches are given equal prominence.
  • Add explicit notes about cross-platform compatibility for tools and commands, and clarify any platform-specific limitations or requirements.
