Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. The only command-line example for interacting with ARMClient uses PowerShell and Chocolatey, both Windows-centric tools, with no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided. The documentation assumes the use of Windows tools for custom DNS server configuration and omits Linux equivalents or instructions. Troubleshooting steps mention 'Test-NetConnection', a PowerShell cmdlet, before mentioning cross-platform tools like 'nslookup', and do not provide Linux-specific guidance. Overall, the documentation prioritizes Windows workflows and tools, leaving Linux users without clear instructions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all command-line instructions, such as using apt/yum for ARMClient installation and bash/curl examples.
  • Include cross-platform or Linux-specific tools and commands (e.g., curl, wget, dig) alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly mention that ARMClient can be used on Linux and provide installation steps for Linux distributions.
  • In troubleshooting, list Linux commands (e.g., dig, host) before or alongside Windows-specific ones.
  • Review all steps to ensure parity between Windows and Linux environments, and add notes or sections for Linux users where workflows differ.
