Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Multiple workarounds and examples reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, PowerShell cmdlets like Get-VM and Start-VM), and some instructions are given only for Windows environments. In several cases, Linux equivalents are missing or not mentioned, and Windows-centric patterns (such as mounting NFS shares using Windows paths) are shown before or instead of Linux alternatives. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may need to adapt or research their own solutions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific commands and tools (e.g., show how to mount NFS shares on Linux, use Linux file copy tools like cp/rsync instead of robocopy/Explorer).
  • Include PowerShell and Bash (or CLI) examples side-by-side for device management tasks.
  • Reference cross-platform tools where possible, or clarify platform-specific limitations.
  • Explicitly state when a workaround or tool is Windows-only, and offer alternatives for other platforms.
  • Reorder examples so that Linux/macOS instructions are presented alongside or before Windows instructions when relevant.
