Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell) are mentioned as workarounds or examples, sometimes without Linux equivalents. PowerShell commands and Windows VM troubleshooting steps are detailed, while Linux alternatives are absent or less emphasized. Windows tools and patterns are often described before or instead of Linux options, and some examples (e.g., mounting NFS shares) use Windows syntax without showing Linux commands.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., suggest rsync or cp instead of robocopy/Explorer, show Linux mount syntax for NFS shares).
  • Include Bash or Linux shell command examples alongside PowerShell commands for device management and troubleshooting.
  • Balance troubleshooting steps for VM extensions by including guidance for Linux VMs where applicable.
  • Ensure that documentation does not assume a Windows environment by default; mention both Windows and Linux client scenarios equally.
  • Review all examples and workarounds to ensure Linux users are not disadvantaged or left without clear instructions.
