Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows and PowerShell bias. PowerShell DSC is the only configuration language discussed, and examples or references are almost exclusively Windows-centric. Windows operating systems are listed first and in detail, while Linux support is referenced generically and with less detail. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., WinRM, WMF, PowerShell cmdlets, Chocolatey) are mentioned without Linux equivalents or examples. There are no Linux-specific walkthroughs or examples, and Linux support is often described as an afterthought.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples for onboarding, configuration, and troubleshooting, including sample commands and scripts.
- List Linux operating systems and their requirements with the same level of detail as Windows.
- Include references to Linux-native configuration tools or patterns where appropriate (e.g., systemd, shell scripts, or integration with Linux package managers).
- Offer parity in documentation structure: for every Windows/PowerShell example or tool mentioned, provide the Linux equivalent or clearly state limitations.
- Highlight any differences or limitations in Linux support up front, and keep Linux-specific retirement or deprecation notices clearly separated from general documentation.
- Add a Linux-focused 'Next steps' or quickstart guide, similar to the Windows/PowerShell guidance.
