Summary
The documentation, while focused on Ubuntu Linux VHDs, repeatedly references Windows-centric tools and workflows (Hyper-V, PowerShell's Convert-VHD), and provides Windows/Hyper-V steps before mentioning or omitting Linux-native alternatives. Linux users are left without clear guidance for VHD creation and conversion, and the use of Windows tools is presented as the default or only option.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and converting VHDs using Linux-native tools (e.g., qemu-img, VBoxManage, dd).
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for extracting and manipulating VHDs, not just referencing Windows/WSL.
  • Mention KVM, VirtualBox, or other Linux virtualization solutions alongside Hyper-V.
  • Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and provide equivalent Linux/macOS workflows.
  • Move Linux-native instructions and tools to the forefront, or at least present them equally with Windows options.
