Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux coverage, but there is a notable Windows bias in several areas: PowerShell commands and tools are frequently referenced (sometimes exclusively), Windows-specific customizers (WindowsRestart, WindowsUpdate) exist without Linux equivalents, and Windows examples or notes often appear before Linux ones. Some instructions (e.g., generating SHA256 checksums, troubleshooting, Sysprep) are Windows-centric or use PowerShell as the default, with Linux alternatives mentioned later or not at all. The lack of a Linux restart customizer and the prioritization of Windows tools and patterns create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS command alternatives alongside PowerShell examples, especially for checksum generation and troubleshooting.
  • Ensure Linux examples are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows examples.
  • Add a Linux restart customizer or document recommended Linux restart patterns for parity.
  • Where Windows-only features exist (e.g., WindowsRestart, WindowsUpdate), clearly state Linux alternatives or workarounds.
  • Avoid presenting Windows tools or patterns first unless they are universally applicable; alternate order or group by OS.
  • Expand troubleshooting and operational examples to include Linux-native tools and commands.
