Summary
The documentation page contains several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell, RDP, Windows VM Guest Agent) are referenced without Linux/macOS equivalents or alternatives. Some examples and workarounds are given only for Windows environments, such as mounting NFS shares using Windows syntax, troubleshooting Windows VM Guest Agent, and using PowerShell for device management. Linux tools and workflows are mentioned less frequently, and in some cases, Linux/macOS users are left to infer their own solutions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., suggest rsync/scp instead of robocopy, show NFS mount examples for Linux).
  • Include PowerShell command alternatives for Bash or other Linux shells where device management is discussed.
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps for VM Guest Agent issues include guidance for Linux VMs if relevant.
  • Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS users, or at least clarify when a workaround is OS-specific.
  • Avoid listing Windows tools and commands before Linux equivalents unless there is a technical reason.
