Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias. PowerShell is referenced as the primary tool for creating custom machine configuration packages and policies, and the open-source nxtools module is described as a way to make managing Linux systems easier for PowerShell users, implying PowerShell as the default management interface even for Linux. In troubleshooting sections, Windows examples and tools (PowerShell scripts) are presented before Linux equivalents, and several policy definitions are Windows-specific or mention Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell execution policy, PowerShell modules).
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-native tooling and examples (e.g., Bash, Python) for creating and managing machine configuration packages, not just PowerShell.
  • Ensure Linux troubleshooting examples are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows examples, and alternate the order to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Highlight Linux-specific tools and workflows for machine configuration management, not just PowerShell-based approaches.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is optional for Linux management and provide guidance for users who prefer native Linux tools.
  • Expand documentation of policy definitions to include more Linux-focused examples and use cases, especially where Windows-specific tools are referenced.
