Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. The majority of policy definitions and examples are for Windows machines, with only a handful of Linux-specific entries. The guidance and table focus on PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) modules, which are primarily Windows-centric, and frequently reference Windows tools and patterns. Linux policies are less represented, and there is little detail about Linux equivalents or modules. The introductory text also directs users to review PowerShell scripts to understand settings for both Windows and Linux, but in practice, nearly all referenced modules and configurations are for Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add more Linux-specific policy definitions and examples to the table.
  • Provide explicit links and documentation for Linux DSC resource modules, if available.
  • Balance the introductory guidance to equally discuss Linux configuration mechanisms (e.g., shell scripts, Ansible, or native Linux DSC resources).
  • Ensure Linux examples are shown alongside Windows examples, not only as a minority or afterthought.
  • Clarify which modules and configurations are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
  • Include Linux-specific tools and patterns (such as OpenSCAP, auditd, or native configuration management tools) where relevant.
