Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All configuration examples use Windows PowerShell DSC syntax and the WindowsFeature resource, with no Linux equivalents or cross-platform DSC resources shown. The prerequisites and VM creation instructions reference only Windows VMs, and links point to Windows-specific documentation. Linux support is only mentioned in passing and in the context of retirement announcements, with no practical guidance or examples for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux DSC configuration examples, such as using nxFile or nxPackage resources.
- Include instructions for creating and onboarding Linux VMs, with links to Linux VM creation guides.
- Provide cross-platform DSC examples and clarify which resources and steps are supported on Linux.
- Update prerequisites to mention supported Linux operating systems and their requirements.
- Balance references to Windows PowerShell DSC with information about cross-platform DSC (including PowerShell Core and Linux).
- Remove or update retirement announcements to clarify current Linux support and alternatives.
