Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, with all examples and tooling references centered around Windows PowerShell DSC and the PowerSTIG project. Linux is only briefly mentioned as a possible target for onboarding, but no Linux-specific configuration guidance, examples, or tools are provided. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows PowerShell and does not address Linux equivalents or cross-platform DSC usage.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples for configuring STIG baselines using DSC, such as using DSC for Linux or alternative configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, or native Linux DSC support).
- Mention and link to Linux-compatible DSC resources and documentation, clarifying any platform limitations.
- Provide guidance or references for generating and applying MOF files on Linux systems, including any prerequisites or differences from Windows.
- Balance the introduction and next steps by equally highlighting Linux and cross-platform approaches, not just Windows PowerShell.
- If PowerSTIG is Windows-only, explicitly state this and suggest Linux alternatives for STIG compliance automation.
