Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows VM creation is linked in prerequisites, Windows Registry and Software are listed before Linux equivalents, and portal instructions focus on generic VM selection (which is typically Windows-centric in Azure). Linux-specific examples are only provided in the CLI section for Azure Arc-enabled VMs, and there is no direct Linux VM creation link or explicit Linux portal walkthrough. Windows terminology and features (Registry, Software) are emphasized throughout, while Linux features are less detailed.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux VM creation links in prerequisites, similar to the Windows VM link.
  • Ensure that Linux-specific features (such as configuration file tracking) are described with equal detail as Windows Registry and Software.
  • Provide step-by-step portal instructions for enabling Change Tracking on Linux VMs, including screenshots if UI differs.
  • List Linux and Windows features in parallel order, or alternate their presentation to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Include Linux command-line examples wherever Windows/Powershell examples are given, and vice versa.
  • Clarify in the UI walkthroughs when steps apply equally to both OS types, and highlight any OS-specific differences.
