Summary

The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows tools and patterns (such as 'cmd.exe', 'cmd /c', and references to Windows Data Protection API) are used in code examples and scenarios, often without Linux equivalents or with Linux-specific details provided later or omitted. Powershell/Windows command patterns are used in code snippets for .NET, Java, and Python, and Windows terminology is frequently introduced before Linux alternatives. Some Linux-specific configuration is present, but Linux command-line examples are missing, and Windows tools are referenced without Linux alternatives.

Recommendations

Provide Linux shell command examples (e.g., using '/bin/bash -c' instead of 'cmd /c') alongside or before Windows examples in all code snippets.
When referencing Windows-specific tools (such as DPAPI), include equivalent Linux approaches (e.g., GnuPG, file permissions, or other secret management solutions).
Ensure that all code samples that show Windows VM configuration also show Linux VM configuration, and vice versa, with parity in detail and explanation.
Avoid using Windows terminology or tools as the default; instead, present both Windows and Linux options equally, or alternate which is presented first.
In the 'Update your code' section, provide Linux-specific migration guidance if any differences exist.
Add explicit Linux SSH usage examples for running tasks and managing user accounts, not just configuration.
Review all scenarios and ensure Linux is treated as a first-class platform, not an afterthought.
