Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and PowerShell commands are frequently mentioned first or exclusively, with Linux equivalents sometimes missing or less detailed. Troubleshooting steps and error remediations often focus on Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, WMI, Registry Editor), and Windows-centric terminology and instructions are more comprehensive. Linux guidance, where present, is sometimes less detailed or appears after Windows instructions.
Recommendations:
- Ensure Linux troubleshooting steps are as detailed and prominent as Windows steps, including explicit Linux command examples and error resolutions.
- Where PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are referenced, provide equivalent Linux commands (e.g., bash, systemctl, journalctl) and clarify when steps differ between OSes.
- Avoid listing Windows instructions before Linux ones by default; consider parallel structure (Windows and Linux side-by-side) or alternating order.
- For error codes and remediation tables, ensure Linux-specific errors and solutions are equally represented and not grouped as afterthoughts.
- Where registry edits or WMI/PowerShell steps are given for Windows, provide corresponding Linux configuration file or command-line steps (e.g., editing /etc files, using systemctl, etc.) where applicable.
- Expand Linux agent and dependency troubleshooting sections to match the depth and clarity of Windows sections, including links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Review all examples and ensure that for every Windows-centric example, a Linux equivalent is provided, unless the feature is truly Windows-only (in which case, state this explicitly).
