Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows operating systems and tools are mentioned first or exclusively in several sections, such as the recommended OS list, authentication methods, and networking strategies. Azure File Sync, a Windows Server-only solution, is highlighted as the primary caching option. PowerShell and Windows-centric management patterns are referenced, while Linux-specific examples and tools are either missing or mentioned secondarily. There is a lack of parity in practical Linux guidance, especially regarding mounting, authentication, and backup/restore workflows.
Recommendations:
- Ensure Linux and macOS are mentioned alongside Windows in all relevant sections, especially in OS recommendations and protocol support.
- Provide explicit Linux (and macOS, if applicable) examples for mounting, authentication, and backup/restore workflows, not just references to Windows tools or PowerShell.
- When discussing Azure File Sync or other Windows-only features, clearly state the lack of Linux support and suggest alternative approaches for Linux environments.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are given equal prominence (e.g., alternate which OS is listed first, or use alphabetical order).
- Include references to Linux-native tools (such as mount.cifs, mount.nfs, or relevant CLI commands) and provide links to Linux-specific documentation where available.
- Where possible, add practical Linux-focused scenarios or case studies to demonstrate parity and applicability.
