Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows Server (Hyper-V) and VMware ESXi as supported host platforms for provisioning the Data Box Gateway virtual device. There is no mention of Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM, Xen, or VirtualBox), nor are there Linux-specific instructions or examples. Windows Server is listed first in all relevant sections, and all examples and screenshots are oriented toward Windows/VMware environments.

Recommendations

Explicitly state whether Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, Xen, VirtualBox) are supported or unsupported.
If Linux hypervisors are supported, provide download links for compatible image formats (e.g., QCOW2 for KVM) and include Linux-specific provisioning instructions.
If only Windows/VMware are supported, clarify this limitation early in the prerequisites section to set expectations for Linux users.
Consider adding a FAQ or troubleshooting section addressing common Linux/macOS user questions.
Where possible, provide parity in example ordering (e.g., alternate between Windows and VMware, or mention both together).
