Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows environments, with all version history, OS support, and examples referencing only Windows Server and Windows Client editions. PowerShell and Windows Management Framework are mentioned exclusively as the tooling for DSC, with no mention of Linux equivalents or support. There are no examples, instructions, or references for Linux DSC extension usage, and the only nod to Linux is an end-of-life announcement, further reinforcing the Windows-centric bias.
Recommendations
- Add historical context and details about Linux support, including which extension versions supported Linux and when support was retired.
- Include explicit Linux OS support information (where applicable) in version tables, or clearly state when Linux support was removed.
- Provide examples or references for Linux DSC extension usage, including configuration and troubleshooting steps for Linux VMs (if still relevant for older versions).
- Mention Linux equivalents to PowerShell DSC, such as OMI or cross-platform DSC implementations, and link to their documentation.
- Balance references to Windows Management Framework and PowerShell with information about Linux management tools or frameworks, where applicable.
- If Linux support is fully retired, add a prominent section summarizing the history and rationale, and direct users to alternative solutions for Linux configuration management.
