Summary
The documentation provides separate checklists for Linux and Windows images, but several subtle biases are present. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., BitLocker, HOSTS file, Windows Server roles) are mentioned explicitly, while Linux equivalents (e.g., dm-crypt, /etc/hosts, package managers) are not. In some cases, Windows-specific recommendations (auto-update, BitLocker) are given without Linux analogs. The Linux section contains a confusing reference to 'Windows Server roles' and lacks parity in example commands and tool recommendations. Windows examples and terminology are presented first in some categories.
Recommendations
- Remove or clarify the reference to 'Windows Server roles' in the Linux checklist.
- Provide Linux equivalents for Windows-specific recommendations (e.g., suggest using dm-crypt or LUKS for disk encryption, mention auto-update mechanisms like unattended-upgrades or dnf-automatic).
- Include Linux-specific file references (e.g., /etc/hosts instead of HOSTS file) and clarify removal steps.
- Ensure that example commands and recommendations are provided for both platforms where applicable.
- Present Linux and Windows recommendations in parallel structure to avoid implicit prioritization.
