Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell cmdlets) are mentioned without Linux equivalents, and Windows-centric troubleshooting steps (e.g., RDP, waappagent.exe, Get-Process, Restart-Service) are provided exclusively. In some cases, Windows examples are shown first or only, and Linux alternatives are missing or referenced less prominently. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may need to adapt instructions or seek external resources.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands and tools (e.g., use rsync or cp instead of robocopy/Explorer, show SSH instead of RDP for VM access).
  • Include Linux-based troubleshooting steps for VM guest agent and custom script extension issues.
  • When referencing PowerShell or Windows cmdlets, add Bash or Linux CLI alternatives where applicable.
  • Ensure examples for mounting NFS shares, copying files, and managing VMs are shown for both Windows and Linux clients.
  • Review and update documentation to present platform-neutral or platform-specific instructions in parallel, not Windows-first.
