Summary
The documentation generally maintains cross-platform neutrality, with explicit applicability to both Linux and Windows VMs. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: Windows Server is listed first and is the only OS called out in the 'Recommended OS for Performance' row, and the only explicit recommendation for performance is Windows Server 2019+. Linux distributions are listed for SRIOV RDMA support, but no Linux distribution is recommended for performance. There are no macOS examples or mentions. All command-line topology examples use Linux tools (lstopo), not Windows or PowerShell, which is positive for Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Add a recommended Linux distribution for performance, or clarify if Windows Server 2019+ is uniquely recommended.
  • List Linux distributions first or equally in tables and recommendations.
  • If possible, provide equivalent Windows tooling or commands for topology inspection, or clarify that lstopo is available on Windows via WSL or other means.
  • Explicitly mention macOS support status if relevant, or clarify that macOS is not supported.
