Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by instructing users to open Windows PowerShell on the test VM and providing only a PowerShell-based workflow for DNS testing. There are no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and the test VM's OS is implicitly assumed to be Windows. This may disadvantage users who prefer or require Linux-based environments.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit instructions and examples for both Windows and Linux virtual machines when testing DNS resolution (e.g., show how to use nslookup or dig in Linux shells).
  • When instructing users to open a shell, use neutral language such as 'open a terminal' and specify both Windows PowerShell and Linux Bash equivalents.
  • Provide example outputs for both Windows and Linux command-line tools.
  • Clarify that the test VM can be either Windows or Linux, and offer guidance for both OS types throughout the tutorial.
  • Where browser instructions are given, note any differences in default browsers between Windows and Linux, or use browser-neutral language.
