Summary:
The documentation demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. In multiple sections, Windows solutions and tools (such as DFS, SMB, FSLogix, and Windows-specific SAP NetWeaver guidance) are presented before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. There is a notable emphasis on Windows-centric technologies and tools, such as DFS Namespaces, FSLogix, and SMB, with limited or no Linux/NFS alternatives discussed in the same context. Some solution areas (e.g., Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) are almost exclusively Windows-focused, and in some cases, Linux examples are missing or less detailed.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux/NFS-based solutions are presented alongside Windows/SMB solutions, especially in sections like file sharing, SAP NetWeaver, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
- Where Windows tools (e.g., DFS, FSLogix) are discussed, provide equivalent Linux/NFS solutions or explicitly state the Linux alternatives (such as NFS automount, autofs, or Linux-based profile/container management).
- Balance the ordering of solution sections and examples so that Linux and Windows are given equal prominence, or alternate which platform is presented first.
- For sections with heavy Windows focus (e.g., Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), add references or guidance for Linux-based VDI solutions if supported, or clarify platform limitations.
- Review all solution lists to ensure that for every Windows-centric reference, a Linux equivalent is provided where technically feasible.
