Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing PowerShell for VM management tasks, listing Windows image preparation steps first, and highlighting Windows-specific tools (e.g., password reset via PowerShell). Linux examples and tools are mentioned but are less prominent, and there is a lack of parity in detailed Linux-specific guidance or examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and workflows alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions, especially for common tasks like VM image preparation, password reset, and network management.
  • Ensure that Linux tools (such as Bash, cloud-init, or Linux-native CLI commands) are referenced equally and not only as secondary options.
  • When listing options (e.g., image preparation, connection methods), alternate the order or present both Windows and Linux together to avoid 'Windows first' ordering.
  • Expand documentation for Linux VM management, including troubleshooting, extensions, and automation, to match the depth provided for Windows.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, include equivalent Bash/CLI commands for Linux users.
