Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: it offers a PowerShell installer script as the only alternative to the OVA template, references Windows-specific paths and tools (e.g., installation of VDDK to C:\Program Files), and consistently presents Windows authentication and tooling before Linux equivalents. Linux setup instructions and examples are missing or only mentioned in passing, with no parity in detailed steps or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide a Linux shell script installer alternative to the PowerShell script, with explicit instructions for Linux-based appliances.
- Include Linux-specific examples for credential setup, file paths, and troubleshooting, such as installing VDDK in a Linux environment.
- Present Linux and Windows authentication options side-by-side, with equal detail and prominence.
- Add screenshots and step-by-step guides for Linux appliance configuration and management.
- Clarify support for Linux-based appliances and document any differences in prerequisites, setup, or operation.
