Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows terminology, tools, and workflows. Windows is mentioned first in client OS requirements, and all domain join and permissions management instructions reference Windows tools and concepts (such as Windows ACLs and DACLs), with no equivalent Linux examples or guidance. Troubleshooting links and mounting instructions are Windows-specific, and there is no mention of Linux command-line tools or procedures for mounting or managing Azure file shares with AD DS authentication.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples for mounting Azure file shares with AD DS authentication, including recommended distributions and SMB client configurations.
- Include instructions or references for managing file/directory-level permissions from Linux clients, such as using setfacl or other Linux ACL tools, and clarify any limitations.
- Add troubleshooting guidance for Linux mounting errors, similar to the Windows troubleshooting link provided.
- When listing client OS requirements, present Windows and Linux options with equal prominence, or alternate their order.
- Reference both Windows and Linux domain-join procedures, or clarify how Linux clients can authenticate to AD DS if domain joining is not applicable.
- Where possible, use cross-platform terminology (e.g., 'file permissions' instead of 'Windows ACLs') and clarify which features are Windows-only.
