Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by presenting Windows server preparation steps and examples before Linux, providing detailed PowerShell and Windows command-line instructions (with screenshots), and referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., diskpart, registry, PowerShell) without equivalent Linux command-line examples or screenshots. Linux instructions are less detailed, with fewer concrete command examples and no screenshots, and some steps refer users to external documentation for specifics.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux sections or present both in parallel to avoid a Windows-first impression.
  • Provide Linux command-line examples and screenshots for key steps (e.g., checking/setting DHCP, verifying agent installation), similar to the detailed Windows examples.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips and manual validation steps, not just references to external documentation.
  • Where Windows tools (e.g., diskpart, PowerShell) are shown, provide direct Linux equivalents (e.g., nmcli, systemctl, ip, etc.) with commands and output.
  • Ensure that all steps described for Windows (such as verifying agent installation, checking service status, or modifying boot/network settings) have clear, actionable Linux equivalents.
  • Add a summary table comparing manual steps for Windows and Linux to highlight parity and differences.
