Summary
The documentation generally presents queries and examples in a platform-neutral way, using Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and Portal tabs for each scenario. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: in sections about OS update installation, the general (non-Linux/Windows-specific) queries and explanations implicitly focus on Windows, with Linux-specific queries only appearing later and in a separate section. There is no equivalent 'general' query for Linux, and the Linux example is not presented alongside the Windows one, but rather after several Windows-centric queries. This ordering and separation can make Linux users feel like an afterthought.
Recommendations
- When presenting OS update installation queries, provide both Windows and Linux examples side by side, or clearly indicate which queries apply to which OS.
- In sections where a 'general' query is given (e.g., 'Count of OS update installation done'), clarify whether it applies to both Windows and Linux, or provide equivalent queries for each.
- Avoid grouping all Windows-related queries before Linux ones; instead, interleave or pair them to show parity.
- Explicitly state OS applicability in headings and descriptions, so Linux users can quickly find relevant content.
- Consider adding a summary table or section at the top that links to both Windows and Linux scenarios for common tasks.
