Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, WMI) and patterns are mentioned more frequently and in greater detail than Linux equivalents. Windows requirements and examples (such as PowerShell, WMI, WinRM, Windows authentication, and SQL Server discovery) are presented first or exclusively, while Linux support is often limited or omitted (e.g., SQL Server and ASP.NET web app discovery are not supported on Linux). Linux instructions are less detailed, and Linux-specific tools or patterns (such as Bash, SSH, sudo) are mentioned only briefly or as secondary options.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples and instructions alongside Windows examples, especially for appliance deployment and credential configuration.
  • Include detailed Linux-specific setup steps for features currently described only for Windows (e.g., SQL Server discovery, web app discovery).
  • Expand on Linux tools and patterns (e.g., Bash scripts, systemd, SSH key management) where PowerShell and Windows tools are described.
  • Clearly indicate feature gaps for Linux and provide workarounds or alternatives where possible.
  • Ensure that Linux requirements and supported distributions are listed as prominently and in as much detail as Windows versions.
  • Add troubleshooting and FAQ sections for common Linux migration issues.
