Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias. In the 'Check VM requirements' section, Windows VM support is listed before Linux VM support, and instructions for updating certificates are explicit for Windows ('install the latest Windows updates') but vague for Linux ('follow the Linux distributor guidance'). No Linux-specific commands, examples, or troubleshooting steps are provided, while Windows is referenced directly. There are no PowerShell-heavy or Windows tools examples, but the ordering and detail favor Windows.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux update instructions, including common commands for popular distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) to update certificates and CRLs.
  • Ensure Linux VM support is mentioned with equal prominence and detail as Windows, possibly alternating the order or grouping them together.
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps or examples where relevant, such as verifying kernel versions or updating packages.
  • Include links to Linux documentation or distributor-specific guides for certificate management.
  • Review other sections for implicit assumptions about Windows and ensure parity in guidance for Linux users.
