Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows terminology, tools, and examples throughout. Windows and PowerShell are referenced first and most frequently, with detailed PowerShell scripts and registry instructions for enabling features on Windows versions. There are no equivalent Linux-specific configuration or troubleshooting examples, and references to client-side configuration (such as enabling encryption ciphers) are exclusively for Windows/PowerShell. The limitations section also references Windows/NTFS features without mentioning Linux or Samba-specific considerations.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for client configuration, such as how to enable or verify SMB Multichannel and encryption settings on Linux clients (e.g., using smb.conf or mount options).
- Include troubleshooting steps or notes for common Linux SMB client issues, such as required kernel versions or cifs-utils options.
- When referencing PowerShell or Windows registry changes, provide parallel instructions for Linux (or explicitly state if not applicable).
- Balance the order of examples and explanations so that Linux and macOS are not always listed after Windows, and ensure that Linux tools (like mount.cifs, smbclient, or relevant CLI commands) are mentioned where appropriate.
- In the limitations section, mention any Linux/Samba-specific limitations or differences in feature support.
- Where client-side configuration is required (e.g., for encryption ciphers), provide Linux equivalents or note if the feature is not available on Linux.
