Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. The majority of policy definitions and examples are for Windows, with only a handful for Linux. The introductory text and table focus on PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) modules, which are primarily Windows-centric, and reference Windows-specific tools and patterns. Linux policies are fewer, less detailed, and sometimes marked as 'Preview'. There is little information about Linux equivalents or parity in tooling and examples.
Recommendations
- Add more Linux-specific policy definitions and examples to match Windows coverage.
- Include references to Linux configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, native shell scripts) where appropriate.
- Provide detailed documentation and links for Linux DSC modules and their usage.
- Ensure Linux examples are presented alongside Windows examples, not only as an afterthought.
- Clarify which modules and configurations are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
- Remove or balance the emphasis on PowerShell by mentioning Linux-native approaches.
