Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific tools, upgrade paths, and troubleshooting steps. Windows OS upgrade options and tools (e.g., SetupDiag, Windows Server upgrade) are mentioned explicitly, while equivalent Linux migration, upgrade, or troubleshooting guidance is absent. The only script-based appliance setup method references PowerShell, with no mention of Bash or Linux-native alternatives. Linux is only briefly mentioned in passing, with no concrete examples or instructions.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux-specific instructions and examples wherever Windows-specific steps are detailed (e.g., OS upgrades, troubleshooting).
- Include Linux migration/upgrade best practices, such as guidance for common distributions (Ubuntu, RHEL, etc.), and reference tools like cloud-init or distribution-specific upgrade methods.
- When referencing script-based setup, clarify if the PowerShell installer script is compatible with Linux (e.g., via PowerShell Core), or provide a Bash/shell script alternative.
- Add troubleshooting steps and post-migration checks for Linux VMs, similar to the Windows activation troubleshooting section.
- Ensure screenshots and UI references are OS-neutral or provide both Windows and Linux perspectives where relevant.
- Explicitly state any differences or limitations for Linux VMs in agentless migration scenarios.
