Summary:
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell-based workflows. All examples and migration steps reference PowerShell DSC, Windows PowerShell versions, and Windows-specific tools and concepts. There is no mention of Linux equivalents, nor are Linux-specific scenarios or commands provided. The guidance assumes the reader is working in a Windows environment, and Linux support or differences are not addressed.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit guidance for Linux VMs, such as how to check for DSC extension usage on Linux (if supported), and clarify any differences in extension names or behaviors.
- Provide examples using Bash or other Linux-native tools where applicable, or clarify if only PowerShell is supported on Linux.
- Discuss any differences in how machine configuration and DSC extension work on Linux versus Windows, including supported features and limitations.
- Mention the required PowerShell versions and modules for Linux, and provide installation instructions or references for Linux environments.
- Add a section or callouts for Linux users to ensure parity and clarify platform-specific considerations.
