Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: troubleshooting steps and error remediation frequently reference Windows tools (PowerShell, WMI, WinRM, IIS), and provide detailed, step-by-step instructions for Windows environments, often before or in greater detail than for Linux. Many examples and commands are PowerShell-centric, and Linux troubleshooting is typically limited to basic SSH connectivity or generic 'ls' commands, with little parity in depth or specificity. Some Linux steps are missing or less detailed, and Windows-specific issues (UAC, environment variables, registry, IIS) are covered extensively, while Linux equivalents are not discussed.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples with equal detail, including common Linux errors and their remediation.
  • Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using SSH, systemctl, journalctl, package managers) for verification and remediation, not just 'ls'.
  • Document Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., alternatives to WMI, PowerShell, IIS), such as systemd, Apache/Nginx, and relevant configuration paths.
  • Ensure error tables and remediation steps cover Linux-specific scenarios (e.g., SELinux/AppArmor, sudo permissions, SSH configuration issues).
  • Avoid presenting Windows steps first or exclusively; structure sections to address both platforms in parallel.
  • Add troubleshooting guidance for Linux web servers and applications, not just IIS.
  • Clarify when steps are OS-specific, and provide links to Linux documentation where appropriate.
