Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. Most examples, scripts, and workflows are presented first (or exclusively) for Windows, with PowerShell as the primary tool. Linux support is mentioned, but Linux-specific instructions are often secondary, less detailed, or require the use of Windows tools (e.g., generating metaconfigurations on Windows with PowerShell before applying them to Linux). Some Linux steps are less explicit or rely on referencing Windows-centric processes.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or parallel Linux examples for all major workflows, especially for onboarding, metaconfiguration generation, and registration.
- Include native Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Python) for generating and applying DSC metaconfigurations, without requiring a Windows/PowerShell environment.
- Document Linux-specific tooling and workflows (such as Register.py, SetDscLocalConfigurationManager.py) in equal detail to their Windows/PowerShell counterparts.
- Avoid requiring Windows or PowerShell as an intermediary for Linux onboarding; describe a fully Linux-native onboarding path.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools or clarify when a step is Windows-only, and provide equivalent Linux alternatives.
- Ensure that Linux instructions are as detailed and explicit as Windows instructions, including troubleshooting and status-checking steps.
