Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing PowerShell (a Windows-centric technology) throughout, referencing Windows-specific tools, file paths, and patterns (e.g., C:\modules, .ps1 scripts) without Linux equivalents. Examples and troubleshooting steps almost exclusively use PowerShell and Windows paths, with little to no demonstration of Linux-specific scenarios, especially for PowerShell and graphical runbooks. Python runbooks mention Linux only briefly and do not provide Linux-specific examples or troubleshooting. The documentation often discusses Windows support and limitations before Linux, and Linux support is sometimes described as an exception or afterthought.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for PowerShell runbooks, including file paths, module management, and troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Include explicit guidance and examples for authoring and running runbooks on Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers, especially for PowerShell and Python.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux support and limitations are described alongside Windows, not after or as exceptions.
- Add troubleshooting sections and sample scripts for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, file system differences, environment variables) in runbooks.
- Where Windows-specific tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., C:\modules, .ps1), provide Linux equivalents (e.g., /opt/modules, .sh or .ps1 usage on Linux) or clarify cross-platform compatibility.
- Clarify which features are available or limited on Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers for each runbook type, and provide parity where possible.
