Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and troubleshooting steps (e.g., PowerShell, Registry Editor, WMI, Control Panel) are frequently mentioned first or exclusively, with Linux equivalents often less detailed or omitted. Many error codes and remediation steps focus on Windows-specific technologies (PowerShell, WinRM, WMI), and examples for Linux are fewer and less comprehensive. Some troubleshooting flows (e.g., registry edits, WMI namespace configuration) have no Linux counterpart. Even in cross-platform scenarios, Windows commands and tools are presented before Linux ones.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all troubleshooting steps and examples are provided for both Windows and Linux, with equal detail and prominence.
  • When listing commands or tools, alternate the order or present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side.
  • Provide Linux equivalents for Windows-specific steps (e.g., registry edits, WMI configuration) or clarify when a step is not applicable to Linux.
  • Expand Linux troubleshooting guidance, including common issues, commands, and remediation steps, matching the depth given to Windows.
  • Review error tables and ensure Linux-specific errors and solutions are equally documented.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell or Windows tools are available on Linux; use native Linux tools and commands where appropriate.
