Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing heavily on PowerShell DSC (a Windows-centric technology), listing Windows operating systems and requirements before Linux, referencing Windows-specific tools and features (such as WMF, WinRM, and Chocolatey), and providing more detailed configuration and proxy support instructions for Windows than for Linux. Linux support is mentioned, but examples, details, and parity in guidance are lacking.
Recommendations:
- Provide equal prominence to Linux in all sections, including listing supported Linux distributions explicitly alongside Windows versions.
- Include Linux-specific examples and configuration steps, not just references to external documentation.
- Offer parity in technical detail for Linux, such as explicit instructions for proxy configuration, agent installation, and troubleshooting.
- Mention Linux tools and package managers (e.g., apt, yum) where Windows tools like Chocolatey are referenced.
- Balance the use of PowerShell-centric language with references to cross-platform or Linux-native configuration management tools where possible.
- Ensure screenshots and UI walkthroughs include Linux node scenarios.
