Summary:
The documentation generally presents Windows tools and workflows (such as Hyper-V and Microsoft Configuration Manager) as the default or only options for creating and managing custom images, with Linux alternatives mentioned but not equally detailed. In several places, Windows is mentioned before Linux, and the tooling focus is on Microsoft/Windows-specific solutions.
Recommendations:
- When listing steps or options, alternate the order in which Windows and Linux are mentioned, or present them together (e.g., 'Windows or Linux') to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Include Linux-native tools and workflows (such as KVM, qemu-img, or virt-manager) alongside Windows tools like Hyper-V for creating VHDs, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Where Microsoft Configuration Manager is mentioned, suggest open-source or Linux-native alternatives for image creation and management (e.g., Packer, Clonezilla, or Ansible).
- Ensure that all example workflows and tool recommendations are equally detailed for both Windows and Linux, including step-by-step guides and troubleshooting tips.
- Add explicit notes or sections for Linux users where Windows-specific instructions or tools are referenced.
