Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows prerequisites, tools, and examples. Windows-specific instructions (e.g., PowerShell, Set-ExecutionPolicy, copying tar.exe) are more detailed and appear first. Linux instructions are present but less detailed, and performance on Linux is discouraged. Windows tools (PowerShell, WinRM, tar.exe for Windows) are referenced exclusively or before Linux equivalents. Some troubleshooting and retry examples are more verbose for Windows. There is limited guidance for Linux users, and some steps (like copying tar.exe) are Windows-only.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or parallel instructions for all steps, including prerequisites and troubleshooting.
  • Offer more detailed Linux examples, including installation of required tools (e.g., tar, OpenSSH) on Linux.
  • Avoid discouraging Linux usage without offering mitigation or optimization tips for Linux environments.
  • Reference Linux-native tools and patterns (e.g., systemctl, SSH config) where appropriate.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting and retry commands for both platforms.
  • Clarify any platform-specific limitations and suggest workarounds for Linux users.
