Summary:
The documentation exclusively describes steps and tools for Windows environments, such as Device Manager, Local Group Policy Editor, and Windows command-line utilities (cmd, gpedit.msc, gpupdate /force). There are no instructions, examples, or references for performing these tasks on Linux or macOS systems, nor are cross-platform alternatives mentioned. This creates a strong Windows bias and leaves Linux users without guidance.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions for Linux (and optionally macOS) environments, including how to check device connections (e.g., using lsusb, adb devices), manage drivers, and configure USB redirection (e.g., with SPICE, USB/IP, or RDP alternatives).
- Mention cross-platform tools and workflows, such as using adb directly on Linux, and provide troubleshooting steps for common Linux issues.
- If certain features (like Group Policy) are Windows-only, clearly state this and suggest alternative approaches for Linux users.
- Reorganize the documentation to present platform-agnostic steps first, or provide parallel sections for Windows and Linux/macOS users.
- Include links to official Android documentation for Linux USB driver setup and device troubleshooting.
