Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific instructions and examples (such as using diskpart and PowerShell) are provided in detail, often before or in greater depth than Linux equivalents. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., RDP, Windows Firewall, WinHTTP proxy) are mentioned explicitly, while Linux instructions are more generic and lack concrete command-line examples. There is a lack of parity in troubleshooting and configuration guidance for Linux, with some steps for Linux described only at a high level or as 'check that' rather than providing step-by-step instructions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., for enabling SSH, updating firewall rules, checking required services) similar to the detailed Windows instructions.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and configuration details for Linux VMs, such as how to verify and enable required services, update network settings, and handle device mapping.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence, or group OS-specific steps together for clarity.
  • Mention Linux tools (e.g., iptables, firewalld, systemctl) explicitly where Windows tools (e.g., diskpart, PowerShell) are referenced.
  • Add links to Linux-specific migration and preparation guides, similar to those provided for Windows.
