Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Windows terminology, tools, and scenarios are consistently mentioned first or exclusively, such as recommending Windows Server for Azure File Sync, listing Windows OS versions before Linux, and referencing Windows-specific features (Active Directory, SMB over QUIC, Win32 semantics). Examples and instructions for Linux are minimal or absent, and PowerShell/Windows CLI tools are referenced more than Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide equal and parallel examples for Linux, including mounting, authentication, and management workflows.
  • Mention Linux tools (e.g., mount.cifs, mount.nfs, Samba, Kerberos configuration on Linux) alongside Windows tools and PowerShell.
  • List supported operating systems in a neutral order or alternate which is listed first.
  • Include Linux-specific guidance for Azure File Sync alternatives, migration, and backup/restore scenarios.
  • Reference Linux documentation links as prominently as Windows links.
  • Clarify which features are Windows-only and suggest Linux alternatives or workarounds where possible.
