Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (such as WSUS and the default use of the public Windows update server) and omitting Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. There are no explicit Linux or macOS instructions or examples for tasks such as network configuration, proxy setup, or update server configuration. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows environments and tools, and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions for configuring update servers on Linux (e.g., using local Linux-based update mirrors or repositories) alongside WSUS/Windows Update references.
- Mention and provide examples for network configuration on Linux and macOS (e.g., how to change IPv4 settings, set static IPs, configure NTP, etc.).
- If referencing tools like the Azure Stack Network Readiness Checker or Network Readiness Tool, clarify their cross-platform compatibility or provide Linux/macOS alternatives if available.
- When discussing proxy or firewall settings, include command-line examples for both Windows (e.g., PowerShell, netsh) and Linux (e.g., iptables, systemd-resolved, environment variables).
- Avoid defaulting to Windows terminology (e.g., 'public Windows update server') and instead use neutral or cross-platform language, or explicitly call out options for different operating systems.
