Summary
The documentation page for Azure Stack Edge 2301 release notes demonstrates several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, RDP, Explorer, robocopy) are referenced for troubleshooting and workarounds, often without Linux/macOS equivalents. Some examples and instructions are Windows-centric or presented first, and Linux alternatives are missing or less detailed. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users attempting similar tasks.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific instructions, such as PowerShell commands, file copy tools, and VM management steps.
  • Include Linux shell command examples alongside PowerShell and Windows command line examples.
  • When referencing tools like robocopy or Explorer, suggest Linux alternatives (e.g., rsync, cp, scp) and provide example commands.
  • For device management and troubleshooting, document SSH or Linux CLI access methods in addition to PowerShell.
  • Ensure that workarounds and troubleshooting steps are platform-agnostic or include both Windows and Linux/macOS procedures.
  • Review and update documentation to avoid presenting Windows instructions first unless there is a technical reason.
