Summary
The documentation consistently lists Windows download links before Linux, and frequently mentions Windows-specific tools (MSI installer, PowerShell, Windows Event Logs, Windows cert store, WMI, Win32 API) and features. Windows-only enhancements and fixes are called out, while Linux equivalents are less detailed or omitted. PowerShell upgrades and requirements are highlighted, with less emphasis on Linux scripting or tooling. Linux features and fixes are present but often secondary, and examples or details for Linux are less prominent.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux download links, or present them together to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Ensure Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, journalctl, shell scripting) are mentioned with equal detail and prominence as Windows tools.
- Provide Linux command-line examples and troubleshooting steps where Windows PowerShell or GUI examples are given.
- Highlight Linux-specific enhancements and fixes in parity with Windows, including explicit mention of supported distributions and package managers.
- Add more details about Linux logging, configuration, and agent management (e.g., systemd units, log file locations, SELinux/AppArmor considerations).
- Where Windows-only features are listed, clarify Linux alternatives or note if not applicable.
