Summary
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias. Several examples and workarounds reference Windows tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer), PowerShell commands, and Windows-specific procedures (e.g., RDP, Windows services). In some cases, only Windows command-line or UI paths are given, with no equivalent Linux instructions. Linux is mentioned in a few examples (e.g., NFS client on Ubuntu), but parity is lacking, and Windows approaches are often presented first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • For every Windows-specific tool or command (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell), provide equivalent Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., rsync, cp, bash commands).
  • When giving example commands (such as mounting NFS shares), include both Windows and Linux syntax, and clarify which OS each applies to.
  • If referencing Windows services or processes (e.g., waappagent.exe, rdagent), note the equivalent Linux service management steps if applicable, or clarify if not relevant.
  • Avoid using Windows UI navigation (e.g., Explorer) as the only example; add CLI and Linux desktop equivalents.
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps and workarounds are provided for both Windows and Linux environments where possible.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, also provide bash or shell command equivalents for Linux.
  • Audit for any implicit assumptions that the user is on Windows, and update language to be OS-neutral or inclusive.
