Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and PowerShell, with most troubleshooting steps, examples, and cmdlets referencing Windows tools and workflows. PowerShell DSC is assumed as the default, and Linux-specific guidance is minimal and appears only in isolated sections. Many steps (such as certificate cleanup, extension management, and log analysis) provide only Windows/PowerShell instructions, and Windows terminology and tools are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples for all major scenarios, especially where only PowerShell or Windows instructions are given.
- Provide equivalent Linux commands (e.g., for certificate management, log analysis, extension handling) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Clearly indicate when a step or tool is Windows-only and offer Linux alternatives or workarounds.
- Ensure Linux onboarding, error resolution, and node management are covered with parity to Windows, including references to Linux DSC agents and their logs.
- Reorder examples so that Linux and Windows are presented equally, or group them by platform.
