Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell, RDP) are mentioned or exemplified, often without Linux equivalents. In some cases, only Windows command syntax is shown (e.g., mounting NFS shares), and workarounds reference Windows utilities or workflows. Linux alternatives are rarely mentioned, and where Linux is referenced (e.g., NFS errors), the guidance is minimal or lacks parity with Windows instructions.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific instructions, such as using cp/rsync instead of robocopy, or Linux mount commands for NFS shares.
- When referencing PowerShell or Windows command-line tools, also include Bash or Linux shell examples.
- Mention cross-platform tools where possible (e.g., AzCopy is cross-platform, but clarify usage on both OSes).
- Avoid assuming the user is on Windows; structure examples to show both Windows and Linux workflows side by side.
- For device management or troubleshooting steps that use Windows-only tools (like RDP), suggest SSH or other Linux-compatible methods.
- Audit all workaround and example sections to ensure Linux users are not left without clear, actionable guidance.
