Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and examples frequently reference Windows-specific tools (Control Panel, admin command prompt, Notepad, PowerShell, Windows registry, WMI, WinRM) and provide Windows instructions first or exclusively in many sections. Linux instructions are present but often appear after Windows steps or are less detailed. Some troubleshooting flows (e.g., time sync, host file editing, credential validation) only mention Windows methods or tools, with Linux alternatives missing or less emphasized.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux troubleshooting steps are provided wherever Windows steps are given, including parity in detail and order.
- Include Linux-first examples or alternate flows where appropriate, especially for common tasks like time synchronization, host file editing, and credential validation.
- Add Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools (e.g., show how to edit /etc/hosts, use timedatectl/ntp for time sync, check SSH and sudo configuration for permissions).
- Balance PowerShell and Windows command prompt examples with Bash and Linux shell commands.
- Where possible, use cross-platform language (e.g., 'edit the hosts file' instead of 'open Notepad as admin and edit C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts').
- Explicitly call out differences in troubleshooting steps for Linux and Windows appliances, especially in sections that currently only mention Windows.
