Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows updates and tools, providing PowerShell/cmdlet instructions for key operations, and referencing Windows-specific utilities (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP). Linux equivalents, where relevant, are missing or not mentioned, and Linux command-line examples are rare or absent. In several cases, only Windows-centric workarounds or instructions are provided, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux/Unix command-line examples alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions for device management, troubleshooting, and configuration tasks.
- Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp, scp) in addition to Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer for file operations.
- Include instructions for connecting to the device using SSH or Linux shells, not just PowerShell or RDP.
- When describing certificate management, VM management, or network configuration, ensure that both Windows and Linux workflows are documented.
- Explicitly call out any differences in behavior or requirements between Windows and Linux clients, and provide guidance for both.
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples where only Windows steps are currently given (e.g., for custom script extensions, VM management, or network troubleshooting).
