Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing primarily on PowerShell DSC, listing Windows operating systems and tools first, providing more detail for Windows prerequisites, and referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., WinRM, WMF). Linux support is mentioned but less detailed, with no Linux-specific examples or tools highlighted, and no Linux-first guidance or parity in examples.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples and walkthroughs, such as onboarding a Linux node and compiling/applying DSC configurations on Linux.
- Provide parity in detail for Linux prerequisites, including supported distributions and required packages.
- Reference Linux-native tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, OpenSSH, native DSC agent usage) alongside Windows tools.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, rather than listing Windows first.
- Add links to Linux documentation and troubleshooting guides similar to those provided for Windows.
- Show example metaconfiguration scripts for Linux, not just Windows.
- Clarify any feature differences or limitations for Linux nodes up front.
