Summary
The documentation shows evidence of Windows bias in several areas. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer), PowerShell commands, and Windows VM troubleshooting steps are provided, often without Linux/macOS equivalents. Examples for mounting NFS shares use Windows paths and syntax, and workarounds for issues like custom script extensions are Windows-only. Linux tools and commands are rarely mentioned, and when present (e.g., AzCopy, NFS errors), they are not given equal prominence or detail.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., show how to mount NFS shares using Linux mount syntax, suggest Linux file copy tools like rsync or cp alongside robocopy/Explorer).
  • Include PowerShell and Bash command examples side-by-side for device management and troubleshooting.
  • Add troubleshooting steps for Linux VMs where Windows VM steps are given.
  • Ensure that workarounds and examples are platform-neutral or cover both major OS families.
  • Review all examples and instructions to ensure Linux/macOS users can complete tasks without needing to infer missing steps.
