Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing almost exclusively on Windows-based tooling (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell) for preparing and converting Linux images. Linux-native hypervisors and tools (such as KVM, qemu-img, or Linux CLI workflows) are only briefly mentioned or referenced as external resources, with no step-by-step guidance provided. All detailed instructions and screenshots assume a Windows host environment, and Linux alternatives are not presented in parallel.
Recommendations:
- Provide a parallel set of instructions for preparing and converting Linux images using Linux-native tools (e.g., KVM, qemu-img, virt-manager) for users working on Linux hosts.
- Include Linux command-line examples for image conversion, resizing, and upload steps (e.g., using qemu-img, Azure CLI, or AzCopy on Linux).
- Present both Windows and Linux methods side-by-side or clearly indicate which steps are for which OS, rather than assuming a Windows environment.
- Reference Linux documentation and tools with equal prominence and detail as Windows tools.
- Add screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux environments where appropriate.
