Summary:
The documentation references the Windows Update platform as the foundation for Device Update, highlighting its reliability and global scale. This mention appears before any Linux-specific update frameworks or tools are discussed. While the document does mention Linux support, Yocto images, and open-source agent extensibility, it does not provide Linux-first or Linux-equal examples, nor does it mention Linux update tools (e.g., apt, rpm, swupd) as foundational. There are no explicit PowerShell or Windows command examples, but the underlying bias is present in the framing and tool references.
Recommendations:
- Acknowledge and briefly describe Linux-native update mechanisms (e.g., apt, rpm, swupd) and how Device Update integrates with or differs from them.
- Balance the mention of Windows Update platform by also referencing established Linux update frameworks or open-source OTA solutions.
- Provide explicit Linux command-line examples or references where relevant, especially in sections discussing agent integration and update workflows.
- Ensure that Linux and Windows are presented with parity in foundational technology references, not just in agent support.
- Consider adding a section or callout highlighting Linux-first workflows or best practices for Device Update integration.
