Summary
The documentation, while focused on Ubuntu Linux, repeatedly references Windows tools (notably Hyper-V and PowerShell's Convert-VHD) as the primary or only method for creating and converting VHDs. Linux-native alternatives for VHD creation and conversion (such as qemu-img or VBoxManage) are not mentioned, and the workflow assumes access to Hyper-V/Windows for critical steps. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users and may block those without Windows access.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-native instructions for creating and converting VHDs (e.g., using qemu-img, VBoxManage, or other open-source tools).
  • List Linux and cross-platform tools before or alongside Windows/Hyper-V options.
  • Include example commands for VHD conversion on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify which steps require Windows/Hyper-V and offer alternatives where possible.
  • Consider adding a table comparing tool options for each OS.
