Summary
The documentation consistently lists Windows download links before Linux, highlights Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, MSI installer, Windows Event Logs), and frequently introduces or upgrades Windows technologies (PowerShell, .NET) before or without Linux equivalents. Windows features and fixes are often described in more detail, and Windows-only enhancements are called out, while Linux-specific examples, tools, or instructions are less prominent or sometimes missing.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux download links, or list both together to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples and highlight Linux-specific tools (e.g., systemd, journalctl) with the same detail as Windows tools.
- When mentioning upgrades to Windows technologies (e.g., PowerShell, .NET), also note Linux runtime upgrades or equivalents if applicable.
- Ensure Linux-specific enhancements and fixes are described with equal detail and visibility as Windows ones.
- Include explicit Linux troubleshooting steps and log locations where Windows Event Log is referenced.
- Add parity for GUI installer notes by referencing Linux installation scripts or package managers where relevant.
- Review for missing Linux examples in sections that discuss configuration, authentication, and agent management, and add them where absent.
