Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. There are workarounds and examples that reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell, RDP, Windows services), and some instructions are tailored for Windows environments (e.g., mounting NFS shares from Windows, managing Windows VM Guest Agent). In these cases, Linux/macOS equivalents are not provided, and Windows tools are mentioned first or exclusively. This creates friction for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line and troubleshooting steps (e.g., show how to mount NFS shares from Linux, use Linux file copy tools like rsync instead of robocopy).
  • Include PowerShell and Bash (or shell) examples side-by-side for VM management and device connection.
  • Reference cross-platform tools where possible (e.g., AzCopy is cross-platform, but clarify usage on Linux/macOS).
  • For steps involving Windows services or RDP, provide guidance for Linux VM management (e.g., using SSH, systemctl, etc.).
  • Avoid mentioning Windows tools first unless the majority of users are on Windows; otherwise, alternate or group instructions by OS.
