Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It focuses almost exclusively on PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC), referencing Windows PowerShell versions, Windows-specific extension management, and Windows-centric tools and commands. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor any mention of how machine configuration or DSC migration applies to non-Windows environments. All code, migration steps, and troubleshooting are presented from a Windows perspective.
Recommendations
- Include explicit guidance for Linux VMs, such as how to check for DSC extension presence and migrate configurations.
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific examples for querying extensions, packaging, and deploying configurations.
- Clarify whether machine configuration supports Linux and, if so, detail any differences in migration or usage.
- Mention and link to equivalent Linux tools or commands where PowerShell is referenced.
- Add a section outlining limitations or considerations for non-Windows platforms.
