Summary
The documentation exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows tools and workflows (e.g., PowerShell, robocopy, Explorer, RDP, Windows services) are referenced or given as examples, often without Linux equivalents or with Windows instructions appearing first. Some workarounds and command examples are Windows-specific, and Linux alternatives are missing or less emphasized. This can make it harder for Linux users to follow or apply the guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows command-line examples (e.g., show both PowerShell and Bash commands).
  • Include Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp) alongside Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer.
  • When referencing remote access (e.g., RDP), mention SSH for Linux VMs.
  • For service management (e.g., restarting agents), provide systemctl or service commands for Linux.
  • Ensure that instructions for VM extensions, agent management, and troubleshooting are available for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Where possible, alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions, or present them in parallel.
