Summary
The documentation consistently presents Windows troubleshooting steps before Linux ones, and provides more detailed, step-by-step instructions for Windows (including use of Windows-specific tools like services.msc and Control Panel). Linux instructions are less detailed and rely on external links for key steps. This ordering and level of detail may make Linux users feel like second-class citizens and could hinder their troubleshooting experience.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux troubleshooting steps, or present them in parallel sections to avoid always prioritizing Windows.
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions for Linux troubleshooting, including explicit commands for checking agent status, restarting services, and uninstalling/reinstalling the agent.
  • Mention Linux tools and commands (e.g., systemctl, service, package managers) with the same prominence as Windows tools (services.msc, Control Panel).
  • Where Windows-specific tools are referenced, provide the Linux equivalent immediately after or alongside.
  • Ensure that all error messages and troubleshooting flows have Linux parity, not just links to external resources.
