Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows is mentioned before Linux when describing master target server creation, and the default master target server is described as Windows. There are more detailed instructions and default values given for Windows (e.g., default retention volume 'R'), while Linux equivalents are only briefly mentioned. Some steps, such as adding a retention drive, provide more detail for Windows than Linux. There are also references to Windows-specific tools and patterns, with less emphasis or explanation for Linux scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux and Windows options in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or as the default.
- Provide equally detailed steps and examples for Linux, including explicit instructions for adding and formatting retention drives on Linux.
- Clarify Linux-specific requirements and defaults (e.g., file system types, default retention paths) with the same level of detail as Windows.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or preferred platform; instead, state that either OS can be used depending on the VM workload.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., for mounting and formatting disks) alongside any Windows/Powershell instructions.
- Ensure that any references to tools (e.g., VMware Tools vs open-vm-tools) are given equal prominence for both platforms.
