Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing SMB (the Windows file sharing protocol) as the default, referencing Windows tools like File Explorer for permission management, and omitting concrete Linux/NFS client usage examples. While NFS is mentioned as an option for Linux clients, there are no step-by-step instructions or Linux-specific guidance, and Windows-centric patterns are presented first and in more detail.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux/NFS client usage examples, such as how to mount and access NFS shares from a Linux machine.
  • Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using mount, showmount, or nfsstat) alongside or after Windows/SMB instructions.
  • When discussing permissions, explain how to manage NFS share permissions from a Linux perspective, not just via File Explorer.
  • Balance the order of presentation: if SMB is described first, ensure NFS/Linux is given equal detail and visibility.
  • Reference Linux tools and workflows where appropriate, not just Windows tools.

  • Include information about Linux or macOS support, if applicable, such as updates to Linux-based images or compatibility notes.
  • Add notes or sections clarifying whether the product is Windows-only or cross-platform, and provide parity details.
  • If Linux/macOS management or deployment is possible, mention relevant tools, update mechanisms, or known issues for those platforms.
  • Order update notes to reflect all supported platforms equally, or explicitly state platform limitations.

🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The release notes page for Azure Data Box Gateway 2101 displays a Windows bias by referencing cumulative Windows and .NET framework updates, without mentioning Linux equivalents or updates. There are no examples, instructions, or references to Linux or macOS environments, nor any indication of cross-platform support or parity. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment, which may leave Linux/macOS users uncertain about compatibility or update procedures.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention support for Linux/macOS if available, or clarify platform limitations.
  • Include references to Linux-specific updates, issues, or workarounds if applicable.
  • Balance references to Windows tools and updates with equivalent information for other platforms.
  • Add a section addressing cross-platform considerations, even if only to state that the product is Windows-only.
