Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux examples and covers both OSes in detail. However, there are several areas where Windows tools and PowerShell are mentioned first or exclusively, such as using PowerShell for checksum generation, validator examples, and generalization commands. Windows-specific customizers (PowerShell, WindowsRestart, WindowsUpdate) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are less prominent. Some sections use Windows tools or patterns before Linux equivalents, and PowerShell is often referenced for tasks that could be done with cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
  • When describing tasks like generating SHA256 checksums, mention Linux/macOS commands (e.g., 'sha256sum') alongside or before PowerShell equivalents.
  • Ensure Linux validator examples are as prominent and detailed as Windows examples, including shell script usage and inline commands.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI) in examples before platform-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell).
  • For sections like generalization, provide Linux command examples with equal detail and visibility as Windows Sysprep examples.
  • Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux examples to avoid always presenting Windows first.
  • Clarify when a feature is Windows-only (e.g., WindowsRestart customizer), and provide Linux alternatives or explicitly state the lack thereof.
