Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows VM connection instructions are presented first and in more detail, with explicit references to Windows Firewall, RDP, and Windows Update. Linux instructions are shorter and lack equivalent troubleshooting or configuration details. Windows-specific tools and patterns (Windows Firewall, SAN policy, Windows Update) are mentioned, while Linux equivalents (e.g., iptables, systemd, package updates) are omitted. Troubleshooting links and notes are Windows-centric, and there is no parity in examples or depth for Linux VMs.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, giving equal detail and prominence.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps (e.g., SSH daemon status, firewall configuration with iptables or firewalld, SELinux/AppArmor issues).
  • Reference Linux tools and configuration patterns where Windows tools are mentioned (e.g., mention how to check/update SSH service, handle package updates, set disk policies).
  • Provide links to Linux-specific documentation and troubleshooting guides, similar to those given for Windows.
  • Ensure that notes and caveats (such as boot time issues) are provided for both Windows and Linux, or clarify when they are OS-specific.
  • Add examples for Linux environments where only Windows/PowerShell examples are given.
