Summary

The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first and Windows-heavy bias. Windows authentication and file share patterns are mentioned and exemplified throughout, with Windows path syntax (backslashes) and Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'Windows authentication', 'local Powershell') appearing before or instead of Linux equivalents. Linux support is only briefly mentioned (via Samba), with no Linux-specific configuration or example paths provided. All sample paths, JSON, and UI screenshots use Windows conventions, and command-line references are to Powershell, with no Linux shell or mount examples.

Recommendations

Provide Linux-specific examples for file share setup, including sample Linux paths (e.g., /mnt/share) and Linux user authentication.
Include step-by-step instructions for configuring a Linux file share (e.g., using Samba), with sample configuration files and mount commands.
Offer equivalent Linux shell commands (e.g., using smbclient or mount.cifs) alongside Powershell references.
Use both Windows and Linux path syntax in examples and tables, or clarify when each is appropriate.
Explicitly document authentication options for Linux environments (e.g., username/password, Kerberos, etc.) and note any differences from Windows.
Add screenshots or UI walkthroughs that show Linux shares being configured, if possible.
Review terminology to ensure Linux is presented as a first-class scenario, not just an afterthought.
