Summary
The documentation page is focused on Linux devices but introduces a Windows bias in the virtual TPM scenario by exclusively recommending Hyper-V (a Windows-only virtualization tool) and requiring a Windows development machine for simulated TPM testing. The instructions for creating a Linux VM with a simulated TPM are entirely based on Hyper-V, with no mention of Linux-native virtualization alternatives (e.g., KVM, QEMU, VirtualBox). The Windows/Hyper-V methodology is presented as one of two main approaches, and its prerequisites and steps are described before any Linux-native alternatives, which are absent.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for creating a Linux VM with a simulated TPM using Linux-native virtualization tools such as KVM, QEMU, or VirtualBox.
- Provide parity in examples and tooling for both Windows and Linux environments, ensuring that Linux users are not required to use Windows/Hyper-V for simulated TPM scenarios.
- Clearly indicate platform-specific requirements and offer alternative workflows for Linux-only users.
- Consider reordering or parallelizing instructions so that Linux-native options are presented alongside Windows/Hyper-V, rather than Windows-first.
