Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing and exclusively providing Windows-based tools and instructions. PowerShell is the only script-based installer mentioned, and all command-line examples (such as hash verification) use Windows Command Prompt tools (CertUtil). File paths and instructions for installing dependencies (like VDDK) assume a Windows environment. There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and Linux-based deployment or verification methods are not discussed.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux-based instructions for all command-line operations, such as verifying OVA file hashes (e.g., using sha256sum).
- Include guidance for running the appliance installer script on Linux systems, if supported, or clarify platform limitations.
- Mention Linux file paths and installation steps for dependencies like VDDK, or explicitly state if only Windows is supported.
- Ensure that examples and screenshots reflect both Windows and Linux environments where possible.
- If PowerShell is the only supported installer, clearly state this limitation and provide rationale or alternatives for Linux users.
