Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, with all examples and instructions assuming the use of Windows PowerShell 5.1. There is no mention of Linux-compatible DSC implementations (such as PowerShell Core or cross-platform DSC), nor are there any Linux-specific examples or guidance. Windows-centric tools and workflows (MOF files, PowerShellGet, Windows PowerShell DSC) are referenced exclusively or before any Linux alternatives, and the prerequisites explicitly state applicability to Windows PowerShell 5.1 only.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux environments, including how to use cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) and DSC on Linux.
- Clarify which steps or tools are Windows-only and provide Linux equivalents where possible.
- Reference and link to documentation for Linux DSC implementations (such as Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) or DSC for Linux).
- Include examples of managing Linux resources (e.g., configuring Apache instead of IIS, managing Linux firewall settings, etc.).
- Update the prerequisites to indicate support for PowerShell Core and/or cross-platform scenarios if available.
- Ensure parity in documentation structure and depth for both Windows and Linux users.
