Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Troubleshooting steps for hydration failures provide detailed, step-by-step PowerShell scripts and registry instructions for Windows Guest OS, but do not offer equivalent Linux guidance. Windows tools like PsExec and Internet Explorer are referenced for proxy troubleshooting, with no Linux alternatives. In some sections, Windows-specific errors and solutions are described in detail before Linux is mentioned, and Linux troubleshooting is often limited or absent. Only one Linux-specific command is provided (for serial console issues), and even there, the context is minimal compared to the Windows sections.
Recommendations
  • For every Windows-specific troubleshooting script or step (e.g., hydration, registry changes), provide equivalent Linux commands or scripts (e.g., systemd service checks, driver/module configuration).
  • When referencing Windows tools like PsExec and Internet Explorer, also describe how to achieve the same outcome on Linux (e.g., using curl, wget, or editing environment variables directly).
  • Ensure Linux troubleshooting examples are as detailed as Windows ones, including command-line steps, expected outputs, and error interpretation.
  • When listing troubleshooting steps, avoid always presenting Windows first; alternate or group by OS, or clearly label sections for each OS.
  • Expand Linux coverage in sections where only Windows is discussed (e.g., hydration, proxy settings, unexpected shutdowns), or explicitly state if an issue is Windows-only.
  • Provide links to relevant Linux documentation and tools alongside Windows references.
