Summary
The documentation page exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and command-line examples frequently reference Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as PowerShell cmdlets and Windows paths. In sections involving network and proxy troubleshooting, PowerShell is used for HTTP/2 testing and DNS resolution, while equivalent Linux commands (e.g., curl, dig, nslookup, wget) are missing or mentioned secondarily. Windows terminology (RDP, time.windows.com, Windows paths) is present throughout, and instructions for resolving errors often assume a Windows environment. Linux-specific troubleshooting (such as SELinux, systemd, or Linux file permissions) is largely absent, and Linux command examples are rare, with only a single reference to checking glibc version. This creates a perception that Windows is the primary or default platform for Azure Arc resource bridge management, potentially leaving Linux administrators without clear guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux equivalents for all PowerShell and Windows command examples (e.g., curl, wget, dig, nslookup, systemctl, journalctl).
- Include troubleshooting steps for common Linux issues (e.g., file permissions, SELinux, systemd services, SSH folder access).
- Mention Linux tools and patterns alongside or before Windows tools, especially in sections about network, DNS, and proxy troubleshooting.
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux management machines are supported, and specify any platform-specific requirements or limitations.
- Add explicit instructions for Linux environments when discussing CLI installation, proxy configuration, and log collection.
- Ensure references to Windows-specific services (e.g., time.windows.com, RDP) are accompanied by Linux alternatives (e.g., ntpd/chrony, SSH).
- Review error messages and troubleshooting guidance to ensure Linux administrators can follow all steps without ambiguity.
