Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Most troubleshooting steps, examples, and cmdlets are PowerShell-centric, with instructions and tooling (e.g., xDscDiagnostics, PowerShell DSC extension, Windows event logs, Windows time sync commands) tailored for Windows environments. Linux-specific guidance is minimal and appears only in one scenario, with no parity in diagnostic tooling or example commands. Windows instructions and tools are presented first and in greater detail, while Linux users are often left to infer or seek external resources.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux troubleshooting steps and examples for each scenario, including shell commands and log locations.
- Document Linux-specific DSC extension management and certificate handling, with sample commands (e.g., using bash, systemctl, openssl).
- Include references to Linux DSC logs and diagnostic tools, or clarify limitations and alternatives for Linux users.
- When mentioning PowerShell cmdlets or Windows tools, add Linux alternatives or note platform applicability.
- Balance the order of presentation so Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence.
