Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. Most examples and workflows are described using PowerShell cmdlets and Windows tooling, with Linux instructions often appearing after Windows ones or being less detailed. Key onboarding and configuration steps are presented primarily with PowerShell scripts, and Linux-specific workflows are less prominent, sometimes requiring the use of Windows tools to manage Linux nodes. There are also sections where Linux examples are missing or less comprehensive compared to their Windows counterparts.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples for all major workflows, including onboarding, configuration, and troubleshooting.
- Include native Linux shell (bash) or Python examples for generating and applying metaconfigurations, rather than requiring PowerShell or Windows-based tools for Linux nodes.
- Ensure that Linux tools and scripts (e.g., Register.py, SetDscLocalConfigurationManager.py) are documented with the same level of detail and step-by-step guidance as PowerShell cmdlets.
- Clearly separate Windows and Linux instructions, and avoid requiring a Windows machine or PowerShell to manage Linux nodes.
- Add troubleshooting and status-checking sections specifically for Linux, not just referencing the Windows DSC extension.
- Where possible, mention Linux tools and workflows before or alongside Windows ones, rather than always after.
