Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a noticeable Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and error resolutions frequently reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., Services.msc, Event Viewer, regedit, command prompt, VSS, BitLocker, registry edits, icacls, MSIEXEC), and many examples or commands are provided only for Windows. PowerShell and Windows command-line instructions are given for several operations, while equivalent Linux commands or procedures are often missing or only briefly mentioned. In several sections, Windows solutions are described in detail before Linux alternatives, and some error resolutions lack Linux-specific guidance altogether.
Recommendations:
- For every Windows-specific troubleshooting step (e.g., using Services.msc, Event Viewer, registry edits), provide equivalent Linux instructions (e.g., systemctl/service commands, journalctl/syslog, relevant config files).
- Where PowerShell or Windows command prompt commands are given, include corresponding Bash or shell commands for Linux VMs.
- When referencing Windows tools (e.g., VSS, BitLocker, MSIEXEC), clarify their Linux equivalents or note if the issue is Windows-only.
- Ensure Linux examples are present and as detailed as Windows examples, especially in error troubleshooting sections.
- When listing steps for both OSes, present them in parallel or clearly separated sections, rather than Windows-first.
- Add more Linux-focused troubleshooting scenarios (e.g., SELinux/AppArmor, systemd service management, disk mounting issues) where relevant.
- Review all error codes and ensure Linux-specific guidance is included where applicable, not just for a few select errors.
