missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and PowerShell commands are frequently mentioned first or exclusively, with Linux equivalents either appearing later or being less detailed. Troubleshooting steps and remediation instructions often focus on Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, WMI, Registry Editor) and GUI workflows, while Linux instructions are sometimes missing, less prominent, or require more manual intervention. Some error resolutions are only described for Windows, and Linux guidance is less comprehensive or absent in certain cases.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that for every Windows/Powershell example or troubleshooting step, a Linux equivalent is provided with equal detail and prominence.
- When listing connection methods, tools, or commands, present Windows and Linux options together, or alternate which is presented first.
- Expand Linux troubleshooting sections to match the depth and clarity of Windows instructions, including step-by-step guides and command-line examples.
- For error codes and remediation steps that currently focus on Windows (e.g., WMI, PowerShell, Registry, UAC), provide parallel Linux-focused guidance (e.g., systemd, SSH, sudoers, file permissions).
- Where GUI-based instructions are given for Windows (e.g., Control Panel, Registry Editor), offer CLI-based alternatives for Linux (e.g., editing config files, using systemctl, etc.).
- Review all error tables and ensure Linux-specific errors and resolutions are as visible and detailed as Windows ones.
- Consider adding a summary table mapping Windows tools/concepts to their Linux equivalents for quick reference.
