Summary
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias. Windows examples and instructions are often presented before Linux equivalents, especially in sections like 'Quick server discovery' and 'Database discovery'. Windows-specific tools and UI steps (e.g., WMI Control, WinRM service) are described in detail, while Linux instructions are more concise and sometimes lack step-by-step guidance. SQL Server (Windows-centric) is covered extensively, with no parity for Linux-based database platforms (e.g., PostgreSQL). Powershell and Windows UI tools are referenced, but Linux command-line alternatives are not always provided.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which comes first in each section.
- Provide step-by-step Linux instructions for tasks where Windows UI steps are given (e.g., configuring permissions, service restarts).
- Include examples for Linux-based database platforms (e.g., PostgreSQL) if supported.
- Where Windows tools (WMI, WinRM, Control Panel) are referenced, mention Linux equivalents (e.g., systemd, sudoers, netstat) and provide matching detail.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default environment; clarify when steps are OS-specific.
