Summary

The documentation presents Windows Server configuration instructions before Ubuntu/Linux, and uses Windows-specific tools (netsh, Windows firewall) in both the main text and examples. The only detailed scenario link provided is for Windows (SQL AG listener with PowerShell). Linux instructions are present but appear after Windows, and the Linux scenario is less emphasized.

Recommendations

Alternate the order of Windows and Linux/Ubuntu sections, or present them side-by-side to avoid the perception of Windows primacy.
Include links to Linux-based scenario documentation (e.g., configuring Always On AG listeners on Linux VMs).
When mentioning tools or patterns (e.g., firewall configuration), give equal detail and prominence to both Windows and Linux equivalents.
Use more generic language in introductory sections (e.g., 'Windows and Linux systems require...') rather than focusing on Windows first.
Expand the 'limitations' and scenario sections to explicitly mention Linux-specific considerations or references.
