Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently presenting Windows tools and workflows first, relying heavily on Microsoft Configuration Manager (a Windows-centric tool), and providing more detailed, step-by-step instructions and screenshots for Windows environments. Linux instructions are present but less emphasized, and there is a lack of parity in tooling recommendations and visual aids for Linux deployments.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which OS is presented first in each section to avoid the impression of Windows being the default.
  • Include Linux-native deployment tool examples (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef, or native package managers) alongside Configuration Manager, with equal detail and prominence.
  • Provide equivalent screenshots and visual aids for Linux deployment steps, not just for Windows/Configuration Manager.
  • Expand the 'Automated deployment' section to mention and link to Linux-focused automation tools and best practices.
  • Ensure that all code samples, troubleshooting steps, and uninstall instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux, with equal clarity and completeness.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'administrative command prompt', 'SMB share') without also providing Linux equivalents (e.g., 'root shell', 'NFS share').
