Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first and Windows-heavy bias. Windows operating systems are listed in detail and always before Linux, with extensive version-specific guidance and support notes. Linux is mentioned only generically, with a single reference to a link for supported distributions and no detailed breakdown or examples. There are no Linux-specific examples, troubleshooting, or migration caveats, and the documentation does not provide parity in OS-level detail or guidance for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide a detailed table of supported Linux distributions and versions, similar to the Windows OS table, including migration caveats and support notes.
- Include Linux-specific examples, such as how to collect kernel version information, common migration issues, or best practices for Linux VMs.
- List Linux operating systems before or alongside Windows in all tables and lists to avoid the perception of Windows primacy.
- Add troubleshooting guidance for Linux VMs, such as handling unsupported distributions, kernel modules, or disk/boot compatibility.
- Ensure all instructions and recommendations (e.g., for security readiness, disk sizing, and network configuration) explicitly address both Windows and Linux scenarios.
