Summary
The documentation provides parity between Linux and Windows in most extension examples, but there is a slight Windows bias: Windows-only extensions are listed, Windows tools (e.g., certificateStoreLocation: LocalMachine) are referenced, and Windows examples are given equal or slightly more prominence. Some extension types (e.g., Antimalware, Diagnostics, DSC, HPC GPU for AMD) are Windows-only, and troubleshooting steps reference Windows-specific concepts. However, Linux examples are present and shown first in critical sections.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate which extensions are Windows-only and which are Linux-only in the Supported Extensions section.
  • Provide Linux equivalents or alternatives for Windows-only extensions (e.g., Diagnostics, Antimalware, DSC) or explain their absence.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and log locations for both Linux and Windows nodes, not just generic or Windows-centric advice.
  • Ensure parity in example depth and troubleshooting for both platforms.
  • Consider listing Linux extensions/examples first if the audience is mixed or Linux-focused.
