Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by assuming the on-premises data gateway is installed on a 'local computer' without clarifying cross-platform support, referencing Windows-specific service management (e.g., 'gateway Windows service account'), and repeatedly linking to PowerShell-based automation for gateway management. There are no examples or instructions for Linux environments, nor are Linux tools or command-line alternatives mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the on-premises data gateway supports installation on Linux or macOS, and provide platform-specific prerequisites if available.
- If Linux is supported, add installation and management instructions for Linux (e.g., systemd service management, Linux CLI commands).
- Provide automation examples using cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI or REST API, not just PowerShell.
- Clarify terminology such as 'local computer' to specify supported operating systems.
- If PowerShell is required, note its availability on Linux and provide Linux-compatible command examples.
- Ensure that all references to service management (e.g., restarting the gateway) include Linux equivalents if supported.
