Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell, Windows Server, Azure File Sync) are mentioned first or exclusively, with Linux equivalents referenced later or not at all. Examples and instructions often use PowerShell, and Windows-specific features (such as SMB over QUIC) are highlighted without discussing Linux alternatives. Some sections lack Linux-specific examples or guidance, especially for DNS and client configuration.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples alongside Windows ones, especially for DNS configuration and client commands (e.g., show nslookup and dig usage in Linux).
- Include parity in instructions for mounting Azure Files on Linux, referencing relevant tools and configuration steps.
- Discuss open-source and cross-platform alternatives to Windows-only features (e.g., alternatives to Azure File Sync for Linux environments).
- Clarify when features are Windows-only and suggest Linux-compatible approaches where possible.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Windows and Linux options are introduced together, rather than Windows-first.
- Add explicit guidance for Linux administrators regarding SMB/NFS configuration, troubleshooting, and security settings.
