Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows servers, with all examples, prerequisites, and instructions tailored for Windows environments. There is explicit mention that Linux is not supported, and all tooling, settings, and file paths are Windows-specific (e.g., C:\ paths, Windows services, Programs and Features). No Linux equivalents, examples, or alternative workflows are provided. The documentation uses Windows terminology and tools throughout, and Linux is only referenced to state lack of support.
Recommendations
- Clearly state Windows-only support in the introduction and prerequisites, and provide a link to alternative solutions for Linux users (if any exist).
- If Azure File Sync is not supported on Linux, suggest comparable Azure file sync solutions or third-party alternatives for Linux Arc-enabled servers.
- Where possible, provide parity in documentation by referencing Linux-compatible Azure file sync or storage solutions, even if only to clarify limitations and alternatives.
- If future support for Linux is planned, include a roadmap or guidance for Linux users.
- Consider adding a FAQ section addressing why Linux is not supported and what options Linux users have.
