Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific features and tools before or instead of their Linux equivalents. For example, the Windows certificate store is mentioned as a storage location for certificates, but no Linux alternatives (such as OpenSSL, PKCS#11, or Linux certificate stores) are discussed. TPM support is highlighted as being standard on Windows devices, with no mention of Linux TPM support or tooling. There are no concrete examples or guidance for Linux-based manufacturing environments, and no Linux command-line or tool references are provided.
Recommendations:
- When mentioning certificate storage, include Linux equivalents such as OpenSSL, PKCS#11 modules, or Linux system certificate stores alongside the Windows certificate store.
- When discussing TPM integration, note that Linux has robust TPM 2.0 support (e.g., tpm2-tools, tpm2-tss) and provide links or references to relevant Linux documentation.
- Provide example workflows or tool recommendations for both Windows and Linux environments, especially for certificate installation and TPM management.
- Avoid phrasing that implies Windows is the default or only supported platform (e.g., 'TPMs are included as standard hardware on many Windows devices') and instead acknowledge cross-platform support.
- Add Linux-specific guidance or examples wherever Windows-specific tools or features are mentioned.
