Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools (Robocopy, net use, File Explorer) are featured prominently and exclusively in detailed examples, with Linux instructions limited to a single mount command and no file copy tool examples. Windows instructions and tools are presented first and in greater detail, while Linux alternatives (such as rsync or cp) are not discussed in the main tutorial. The use of Robocopy and Windows command prompts dominates the guidance, and there is no parity in example depth for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide detailed Linux file copy examples using common tools such as rsync and cp, including sample commands and output.
- Include Linux-specific best practices for SMB mounting and data transfer, such as recommended mount options and performance tuning.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel sections or tables to ensure equal visibility and depth.
- Mention and explain Linux equivalents for Robocopy (e.g., rsync, smbclient) and their relevant options for performance and reliability.
- Add troubleshooting and error handling guidance for Linux users, similar to what is provided for Windows.
- Ensure that references to tools and commands are platform-neutral where possible, or provide alternatives for each platform.
