Summary
The documentation, while focused on Ubuntu Linux, repeatedly references Windows-specific tools and workflows (notably Hyper-V and Convert-VHD PowerShell cmdlet) for creating and converting VHDs. Windows/Hyper-V is mentioned first and most prominently as the example virtualization solution, and Linux-native alternatives (such as qemu-img, VirtualBox, or KVM) are not provided. The instructions for extracting the VHD tarball on Windows recommend using WSL, but do not provide guidance for Linux/macOS users. Critical steps like VHD conversion are only described with Windows/PowerShell tooling, leaving gaps for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-native instructions for creating and converting VHDs (e.g., using qemu-img or VBoxManage).
  • Mention Linux/macOS virtualization solutions (such as KVM, VirtualBox, or QEMU) alongside Hyper-V.
  • Provide explicit examples for extracting the VHD tarball on Linux/macOS (e.g., using tar in a terminal).
  • Include guidance for converting VHDX to fixed VHD on Linux (e.g., qemu-img convert -O vpc).
  • Reorder examples so Linux-native tools are presented first or in parallel with Windows tools.
