Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All configuration examples use PowerShell DSC syntax and the WindowsFeature resource, with no Linux equivalents or cross-platform DSC examples. The only VM creation link is for Windows VMs, and references to DSC documentation and resources are all Windows-centric. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or references, and the documentation does not demonstrate how to manage Linux nodes or author Linux-compatible configurations.
Recommendations
- Include examples of authoring DSC configurations for Linux nodes, using cross-platform resources (e.g., nxFile, nxPackage).
- Provide links to both Windows and Linux VM creation guides.
- Reference cross-platform DSC documentation and clarify which features are Windows-only.
- Add explicit instructions or notes for managing Linux nodes, including any limitations or retirement status.
- If Linux support is deprecated, clearly state this at the top and provide migration guidance.
