Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows, with all instructions, examples, and tooling focused exclusively on Windows and PowerShell. Windows-specific tools (Hyper-V, PowerShell cmdlets, Windows DHCP server) are used throughout, with no mention of Linux equivalents or alternative approaches for non-Windows hosts. The guide assumes the user is on Windows and does not provide Linux/macOS parity.
Recommendations
- Add a section or separate guide for creating a virtual switch and configuring NAT/DHCP on Linux hosts (using tools like ip, brctl, dnsmasq, etc.).
- Mention Linux virtualization technologies (e.g., KVM, libvirt, VirtualBox) and provide equivalent steps for those environments.
- Clarify in the prerequisites and introduction that the guide is Windows-specific, and link to Linux/macOS instructions if available.
- Provide cross-platform comparison tables or notes to help users on non-Windows systems understand what steps/tools are analogous.
- If IoT Edge for Linux on Windows is only supported on Windows hosts, state this explicitly and explain why Linux/macOS hosts are not covered.
