Summary
The documentation, while focused on Ubuntu Linux VHDs, repeatedly references Windows-specific tools and workflows (notably Hyper-V and PowerShell's Convert-VHD) as primary or sole options for creating and converting VHDs. Windows/Hyper-V steps are described in detail, with Linux-native alternatives either missing or not given equal prominence. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may not have access to Hyper-V or PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and converting VHDs using Linux-native tools (e.g., qemu-img, VBoxManage, KVM).
  • Provide parity examples for extracting and manipulating VHDs on Linux/macOS, not just Windows/WSL.
  • Mention cross-platform alternatives before or alongside Windows tools, rather than after.
  • Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and offer Linux/macOS equivalents wherever possible.
