Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is referenced as the primary tool for creating custom policies and troubleshooting, even for Linux scenarios. Windows examples and tools (such as PowerShell modules and scripts) are mentioned first or exclusively in several sections. The open-source nxtools module is highlighted as a way for PowerShell users to manage Linux, reinforcing PowerShell as the preferred cross-platform automation method. While Linux examples are present, they often appear after Windows examples and rely on Windows-centric tooling.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux-native tooling and examples (e.g., Bash, Python, Ansible) for creating and managing machine configuration packages, not just PowerShell.
  • Avoid presenting Windows examples or tools first; alternate or parallelize Windows and Linux instructions.
  • Highlight Linux-native management options (such as native systemd, shell scripts, or configuration management tools) alongside PowerShell-based solutions.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is optional for Linux users and provide guidance for those who prefer not to use it.
  • Expand troubleshooting and log collection sections to include more Linux-specific diagnostic commands and workflows.
