Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing BitLocker (a Windows-specific encryption tool) as the default for software-encrypted disks, without mentioning Linux-compatible alternatives or providing Linux-specific instructions. While there is a note about hardware-encrypted disks being suitable for Linux, the main workflow and benefits sections do not address Linux usage or provide Linux-specific examples, tools, or guidance. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, and does not offer parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention and provide examples for both Windows and Linux workflows, including how to unlock and mount disks on Linux systems.
- Reference Linux-compatible encryption and unlocking tools (e.g., using cryptsetup for hardware-encrypted disks) alongside BitLocker.
- Add Linux-specific instructions or links for copying data to disks, including command-line examples (e.g., using cp, rsync, or dd).
- Ensure that all features and benefits are described in a cross-platform manner, avoiding Windows-first language.
- Include a section or callout specifically for Linux users, outlining any differences or additional steps required.
