Summary
The documentation exclusively covers Windows operating systems, PowerShell, and Windows Management Framework (WMF) in all examples and version histories. There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are there examples or instructions for non-Windows platforms. The only reference to Linux is an end-of-life/retirement announcement, further reinforcing the Windows-centric focus.
Recommendations
- Clearly state the current support status for Linux/macOS, including any retirement or alternative solutions.
- If Linux support is deprecated, provide links or guidance for users migrating from Linux DSC to supported alternatives (e.g., Azure Automation, Ansible, Chef, etc.).
- If any versions previously supported Linux, include those in the version history and document their features and limitations.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux DSC extension capabilities, even if only for historical context.
- Provide migration guides or FAQs for Linux users affected by the retirement.
