Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows VM instructions are consistently presented before Linux VM instructions in connection preparation and troubleshooting tables. Windows-specific tools and settings (e.g., Windows Firewall, RDP, WinHTTP proxy, SAN policy) are described in detail, while Linux instructions are minimal and lack equivalent depth (e.g., only mentioning SSH and firewall rules). There are references to Windows update and other Windows-specific behaviors, but no similar coverage for Linux update or service management. Troubleshooting links and examples are Windows-centric, and Linux users may need to infer or research additional steps.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, giving equal detail and prominence.
  • Expand Linux VM preparation steps to include common issues (e.g., SELinux, iptables, cloud-init, SSH key management, OS update behaviors).
  • Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting links and examples, similar to those offered for Windows.
  • Mention Linux equivalents for Windows tools/settings (e.g., firewall-cmd/iptables for firewall, systemctl for service management, update/upgrade procedures).
  • Avoid listing Windows instructions first by default; alternate or group by OS type.
