Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric tools and defaults, such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft Update server, and time.windows.com as the default NTP server. There are no mentions of Linux equivalents (e.g., Linux update mirrors, chrony/ntpd, or pool.ntp.org), nor are there examples or guidance for users in Linux-centric environments. The documentation assumes a Windows-based infrastructure for update and time services, and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Include examples and guidance for configuring update servers using Linux-based solutions (e.g., apt/yum repositories, local Linux mirrors).
- Mention and provide examples of using public and Linux-friendly NTP servers (e.g., pool.ntp.org) alongside time.windows.com.
- Clarify that WSUS and Microsoft Update are Windows-specific, and suggest alternatives for environments where Linux is prevalent.
- Where possible, provide cross-platform instructions or note any platform-specific requirements.
- Explicitly state if the device or service only supports Windows-based update/time infrastructure, or provide workarounds for Linux environments.
