Summary
The documentation generally maintains parity between Windows and Linux, especially in CLI examples for enabling Change Tracking extensions. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: the prerequisites link only to Windows VM creation, and Windows concepts (Registry, Files, Software) are mentioned first in the applicability list. Portal-based instructions are generic and do not distinguish between Windows and Linux VMs, potentially leaving Linux users unclear about OS-specific behaviors or requirements. CLI examples for extension installation are provided for both OSes, but Windows is often listed first.
Recommendations
  • Add a link to the Linux VM creation quickstart in the prerequisites section.
  • Explicitly mention any Linux-specific considerations or UI differences in portal instructions.
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples, or present them side-by-side.
  • Clarify in portal steps that the process applies equally to both Windows and Linux VMs, and highlight any OS-specific options if present.
