Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows configuration tables and some parity in example sections. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias: Windows examples (especially for installing drivers and MPI) are more detailed, appear first in example sections, and reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, Remote Desktop, Microsoft MPI) without always providing equivalent Linux command-line or tool examples. The Linux example for GPU drivers is less detailed and lacks explicit command-line instructions, while the Windows example includes a full start task command. There is also a reliance on Windows-centric patterns (e.g., RDP, PowerShell), and the documentation sometimes references Windows tools before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux examples with the same level of detail as Windows, including explicit shell command lines for installing drivers and configuring pools.
  • When listing options or examples, alternate the order or present Linux and Windows in parallel to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
  • Include Linux-native tools and workflows (e.g., SSH, Bash scripts) in examples, not just Windows tools like PowerShell or RDP.
  • For each Windows-specific instruction (e.g., PowerShell commands, RDP), provide the Linux equivalent (e.g., Bash/CLI commands, SSH).
  • Ensure that all example tables (such as start task commands) include both Linux and Windows variants.
  • Link to up-to-date Linux documentation and avoid referencing EOL Linux versions.
