Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows tools and patterns are mentioned before their Linux equivalents (e.g., 'Invoke-WebRequest on Windows using PowerShell' is listed alongside 'Wget on Linux', but PowerShell is referenced first and more prominently throughout), Windows file paths and instructions are given before Linux ones (e.g., hosts file location), and PowerShell/Windows-centric terminology is used. There is a lack of parity in example commands and troubleshooting steps for Linux users, and some steps (such as modifying the hosts file) provide more detail for Windows than Linux.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows tools/examples side-by-side, or alternate which is mentioned first.
  • Provide equivalent example commands for both platforms (e.g., show both 'wget' and 'Invoke-WebRequest' syntax).
  • When referencing file paths (such as the hosts file), list Linux and Windows locations together and with equal detail.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and screenshots for both Linux and Windows environments.
  • Avoid Windows-centric terminology when describing generic steps (e.g., use 'command line' instead of 'PowerShell' unless specifically required).
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives for monitoring and DNS tools (e.g., curl, dig, nslookup) and provide usage examples for both OSes.
