Summary
The documentation contains several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, PowerShell commands) are mentioned as workarounds or examples, sometimes without Linux equivalents. In some cases, Windows VM troubleshooting steps are detailed with PowerShell and Windows service commands, while Linux troubleshooting is not equivalently covered. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP) are referenced before or instead of Linux alternatives. Some examples and workarounds lack Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., suggest rsync, cp, or scp instead of robocopy/Explorer for blob copying).
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Linux VMs where only Windows VM steps are described.
  • When referencing command-line utilities (e.g., PowerShell), also provide Bash or shell alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Ensure examples and workarounds are presented for both Windows and Linux, ideally side-by-side.
  • Avoid listing Windows tools or patterns before Linux equivalents unless there is a technical reason.
