Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, with all examples and instructions using Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Hyper-V, Windows DHCP Server). No Linux or cross-platform alternatives are provided, and Windows terminology and commands are used exclusively throughout. Linux users are not given guidance for equivalent tasks, despite the product being 'IoT Edge for Linux on Windows'.
Recommendations
- Add a section or links describing how to create and configure virtual switches, NAT, and DHCP on Linux hosts (e.g., using ip, brctl, dnsmasq, or NetworkManager).
- Provide parity examples for Linux/macOS environments, or clarify that the guide is only for Windows hosts if Linux is unsupported.
- Reference cross-platform virtualization tools (e.g., libvirt, KVM, VirtualBox) where appropriate.
- Explicitly state the limitations for non-Windows users and offer guidance or workarounds if possible.
