Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific update mechanisms (Windows Server Update Services, Microsoft Update server), using 'time.windows.com' as the default NTP server, and not mentioning or providing Linux equivalents or examples. There are no references to Linux-based update servers (such as apt/yum repositories or Linux NTP defaults), and no Linux-specific instructions or parity in the configuration steps.
Recommendations
  • Include examples or references for Linux-based update servers (e.g., how to use a local Linux repository or mirror for updates if supported).
  • Mention Linux-friendly NTP servers (such as pool.ntp.org) alongside 'time.windows.com', and clarify that any standards-compliant NTP server can be used.
  • If the device supports integration with Linux management tools, provide instructions or links for those workflows.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (like WSUS) without explaining alternatives or noting platform limitations.
  • Add a section or notes clarifying cross-platform compatibility, especially for environments where Linux is prevalent.
