Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, with all examples and instructions referencing Windows PowerShell DSC and related tooling. Linux is only mentioned in passing (e.g., onboarding Linux machines), with no Linux-specific examples, tools, or guidance provided. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and workflows, and does not address Linux-native equivalents or cross-platform usage.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux examples for configuring data at scale, including how to use Datum or similar tools on Linux systems.
- Include instructions for using cross-platform PowerShell (PowerShell Core) and clarify any differences in behavior or support compared to Windows PowerShell 5.1.
- Mention and link to Linux-native configuration management tools (such as Ansible, Chef, or native DSC for Linux) where appropriate, or clarify the scope if only Windows is supported.
- Reorder or balance references so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, rather than Windows-first.
- Add a section or callout for Linux users, detailing any prerequisites, limitations, or alternative workflows.
