Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and PowerShell workflows. Most examples and scripts use PowerShell, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., WMF 5, PowerShell DSC cmdlets) are referenced throughout. Linux enablement is described, but Linux-specific examples are sparse, and Linux instructions often require a Windows machine to generate configuration files. In several sections, Windows instructions and tools are presented first or exclusively, with Linux guidance appearing later or being less detailed.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-native examples and workflows, such as generating and applying DSC metaconfigurations entirely on Linux without requiring a Windows machine or PowerShell.
- Include bash or Python script equivalents for key tasks currently shown only in PowerShell.
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or clearly separate them, to avoid Windows-first ordering.
- Reference and link to Linux-native tools and documentation (e.g., Open Management Infrastructure, native DSC for Linux docs) alongside Windows tools.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in support for Linux vs. Windows up front, and provide alternative solutions where possible.
