Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: troubleshooting steps and scripts are provided only for Windows (not Linux) in critical sections, PowerShell scripts are referenced without Linux equivalents, and Windows tools (such as PsExec and Internet Explorer) are suggested for resolving issues even in Linux-related scenarios. Linux troubleshooting steps are either missing or only briefly mentioned, and Windows is often addressed before Linux, even in mixed or Linux-specific contexts.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line instructions and scripts wherever Windows PowerShell scripts are referenced (e.g., for driver/service startup type changes).
  • When referencing tools like PsExec or Internet Explorer for proxy troubleshooting, offer Linux-native alternatives (such as using curl, wget, or editing proxy settings via command line).
  • Ensure that Linux troubleshooting steps are as detailed and actionable as Windows steps, especially in sections that currently only mention Windows.
  • Where both Windows and Linux are supported, present both sets of instructions side-by-side or clearly labeled, rather than defaulting to Windows-first.
  • Include more Linux-specific error scenarios and their resolutions, matching the depth provided for Windows.
  • Review and update screenshots and UI navigation steps to clarify any differences for Linux VMs where applicable.
