Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell and Windows DSC concepts are emphasized throughout, with Windows operating systems and tools (e.g., WinRM, WMF) described in detail and listed first. Linux support is mentioned but lacks equivalent detail, examples, or tool explanations. Proxy support, DSC requirements, and onboarding instructions are more thoroughly documented for Windows, while Linux guidance is brief and often refers out to other documentation.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for onboarding, configuration, and troubleshooting, similar to the Windows sections.
- Include Linux distributions explicitly in the operating system requirements, rather than referring to external documentation.
- Describe Linux DSC agent installation and configuration steps in detail, matching the depth given for Windows (e.g., proxy setup, required packages, service management).
- Offer parity in example scripts and commands, including Bash or shell snippets alongside PowerShell.
- Clarify any feature gaps or differences between Windows and Linux support, especially in areas like proxy support and reporting.
