Summary
The documentation is primarily focused on Ubuntu Linux, but it exhibits Windows bias in several areas. Hyper-V (a Windows-only virtualization tool) is mentioned as the main example for creating VHDs, and instructions reference Hyper-V Manager and PowerShell's Convert-VHD cmdlet without providing equivalent Linux tooling or workflows. Windows extraction instructions are given (via WSL), but native Linux extraction is not explicitly described. Linux-native tools for VHD creation and conversion (such as qemu-img or VBoxManage) are missing, and the workflow assumes Windows/Hyper-V as the default environment.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and examples for creating and converting VHDs using Linux-native tools (e.g., qemu-img, VBoxManage, dd).
  • Provide steps for extracting the .tar.gz image natively on Linux (not just via WSL on Windows).
  • Mention Linux virtualization solutions (e.g., KVM, VirtualBox) alongside Hyper-V, and link to relevant guides.
  • Include PowerShell/Hyper-V steps as an alternative, not the default, and ensure Linux-first parity in examples.
  • Clarify that Hyper-V is just one option, and highlight Linux-native workflows for users on Linux/macOS.
