Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a noticeable Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps, error remediations, and validation commands are predominantly presented using Windows tools (PowerShell, WMI, Windows environment variables, IIS), with detailed, step-by-step instructions for Windows scenarios. Linux is mentioned, but Linux-specific troubleshooting commands and examples are sparse or missing. Where Linux is referenced, it is often as an afterthought or in a secondary position to Windows. Several error codes and their remediations are Windows-centric, and Linux troubleshooting is not given equal depth or clarity.
Recommendations:
- For every PowerShell or Windows-specific command or remediation, provide an equivalent Linux shell (bash) command or procedure where applicable.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps for common errors (e.g., how to check SSH connectivity, required packages, permissions, or logs on Linux).
- When describing prerequisites or port requirements, present Linux and Windows information in parallel, not with Windows first.
- Expand error tables to include Linux-specific causes and actions, not just Windows (e.g., for errors involving PowerShell, also describe what happens on Linux and what to check).
- For validation and mitigation verification, provide Linux-native commands (e.g., using SSH, systemctl, journalctl, etc.) alongside PowerShell.
- For web app discovery, mention and provide guidance for common Linux web servers (Apache, Nginx) if supported, or clearly state if only IIS/Windows is supported.
- Review all examples and ensure Linux is treated as a first-class platform, with equal detail and clarity as Windows.
