Summary
The documentation page exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and APIs (such as Windows Data Protection API and RDP) are mentioned before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. Code examples often use Windows-centric commands (e.g., 'cmd /c echo hello') and the .NET example for named user accounts is explicitly labeled as 'Windows' and appears before the Linux equivalent. There is a lack of parity in examples for Linux-specific scenarios (e.g., no Linux shell command examples for running tasks, limited discussion of Linux security tools). Windows terminology and patterns are introduced first or exclusively in several sections.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux shell command examples (e.g., using bash/sh) alongside Windows 'cmd' examples for running tasks.
- Mention Linux tools and APIs (such as GnuPG, OpenSSL, or native Linux file permissions) where Windows-specific tools like DPAPI are referenced.
- Ensure that Linux and Windows examples are presented with equal prominence and in parallel, rather than Windows first.
- Include more Linux-specific scenarios and best practices, such as SELinux/AppArmor, SSH key management, and Linux file sharing.
- Where possible, use cross-platform language in code samples and documentation, or explicitly note differences between platforms.
- Add explicit guidance for configuring user accounts and permissions on Linux, including security considerations unique to Linux environments.
