Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently presenting Windows examples and instructions before Linux equivalents, providing detailed step-by-step GUI instructions for Windows tools (e.g., WMI Control) while offering more generic or less detailed instructions for Linux. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as WinRM, WMI, and Windows authentication for SQL Server) are described in depth, while Linux instructions are often condensed or lack parity in detail and troubleshooting guidance. SQL Server examples are exclusively Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments. The Hyper-V section is Windows-only, and PowerShell or Windows command-line patterns are referenced without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux examples and instructions alongside Windows, ensuring equal detail and troubleshooting guidance (e.g., step-by-step for configuring sudoers, ACLs, and service restarts).
- Include Linux-based SQL Server deployment instructions and authentication examples, or clarify if only Windows SQL Server is supported.
- Offer parity in troubleshooting steps for Linux (e.g., how to verify permissions, restart relevant services, check logs), similar to the Windows WMI/WinRM guidance.
- Where Windows tools (such as WMI Control) are referenced, provide Linux equivalents (e.g., commands to check DMI, system info, or permissions).
- Avoid presenting Windows instructions first by interleaving or grouping Windows and Linux guidance together.
- Expand the Hyper-V section to clarify Linux support or alternatives if applicable, or explicitly state platform limitations.
