Summary
The documentation page shows several instances of Windows bias. Some workarounds and examples reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell cmdlets, RDP, Windows services), and in some cases, only Windows instructions are provided (e.g., mounting NFS shares, troubleshooting VM Guest Agent issues). Linux alternatives or parity examples are often missing or mentioned after Windows, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line examples and troubleshooting steps (e.g., show Linux mount commands for NFS, use rsync/cp instead of robocopy/Explorer).
  • Include PowerShell and Bash (or other shell) instructions side by side where device management or troubleshooting is required.
  • Reference cross-platform tools where possible, or clarify if a workaround is Windows-only.
  • Ensure that links to further documentation include Linux/macOS instructions.
  • Explicitly call out OS-specific limitations or requirements so users can plan accordingly.
