Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing heavily on PowerShell DSC, listing Windows operating systems and tools first, and providing more detailed information for Windows nodes (such as specific OS versions and proxy configuration via metaconfiguration scripts). Linux support is mentioned but lacks equivalent detail, examples, and tool references. There are no Linux-specific configuration examples or troubleshooting steps, and Windows-centric tools and patterns (PowerShell, WinRM, WMF) are emphasized throughout.

Recommendations

Provide Linux-specific configuration and onboarding examples, including sample DSC configurations for Linux nodes.
List supported Linux distributions explicitly, similar to the Windows OS list.
Include troubleshooting steps and requirements for Linux nodes, such as dependencies and agent installation details.
Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., alternate examples, list Linux first in some sections).
Reference Linux-native tools and patterns where relevant (e.g., shell scripts, systemd integration, Linux DSC agent specifics).
