Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily by referencing Hyper-V (a Windows virtualization tool) as the main method for creating and managing CentOS VHDs. Instructions for VM management (such as shutting down or connecting to the VM) are given using Hyper-V Manager, with no equivalent guidance for Linux-native virtualization platforms like KVM, QEMU, or VirtualBox. The conversion of disk formats is described using Hyper-V Manager or Windows PowerShell (`convert-vhd`), while Linux alternatives (e.g., qemu-img) are not mentioned. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may not have access to Hyper-V or Windows tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for common Linux virtualization platforms (KVM, QEMU, VirtualBox), including how to create, manage, and shut down VMs.
  • Include Linux-native commands for converting disk formats (e.g., using `qemu-img` to convert raw to fixed VHD).
  • Mention macOS-compatible tools and workflows where relevant.
  • Present Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or clearly indicate alternatives for non-Windows users.
  • Clarify that Hyper-V is one option among several, and link to resources for Linux-based virtualization.
