Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows troubleshooting steps and examples are often presented first or in greater detail, especially in the initial sections. Many examples and resolutions rely on Windows-specific tools (such as PowerShell, Windows Event Logs, registry edits, and Windows file paths), with Linux equivalents either omitted or relegated to later sections. Some scenarios provide detailed PowerShell scripts for Windows but lack equivalent Linux shell commands or troubleshooting steps. Linux troubleshooting is grouped into a separate section, which may make it less discoverable and less comprehensive compared to the Windows coverage.
Recommendations
  • For every Windows-specific example (e.g., PowerShell commands, registry edits, file paths), provide equivalent Linux commands (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux file paths, configuration file locations) alongside or immediately after the Windows instructions.
  • Present Windows and Linux troubleshooting steps in parallel for each scenario, rather than grouping them into separate sections. This improves parity and discoverability.
  • Where Windows Event Logs are referenced, provide the equivalent Linux log file locations (e.g., /var/log/...) and commands (e.g., journalctl, tail, grep) for troubleshooting.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default scripting environment; offer Bash or Python examples for Linux where automation or scripting is discussed.
  • Ensure that all configuration file changes or workarounds (such as editing Orchestrator.Sandbox.exe.config) have Linux analogs or explicitly state if not applicable.
  • Review all scenarios for completeness: if a scenario applies to both Windows and Linux, ensure both are covered with equal detail and actionable steps.
