Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell (a Windows-centric technology) is presented first and in greatest detail, with multiple sections and examples focused on Windows PowerShell and its workflows. Many examples and known issues reference Windows file paths (e.g., C:\modules), environment variables (e.g., TEMP), and Windows-specific behaviors. Linux support is mentioned only in passing, with no Linux-specific examples, troubleshooting, or guidance. Python runbooks mention Linux only briefly, and graphical runbooks are explicitly unsupported on Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers. There are no code samples or instructions tailored for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS-specific examples for PowerShell (especially for Hybrid Runbook Workers), including file paths, environment variables, and troubleshooting steps.
- Explicitly document differences and limitations for Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers, including supported features and workarounds.
- Provide parity in examples: for every Windows-centric example (e.g., C:\modules), include the equivalent Linux/macOS example (e.g., /usr/src/PSModules).
- Clarify which features/tools are Windows-only and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux/macOS users.
- Expand Python runbook documentation to include more Linux-specific guidance, especially for package management and environment setup.
- Reorder sections or provide parallel guidance so Linux/macOS users do not have to sift through Windows-specific content to find relevant information.
