Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio, Fiddler) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents; automation examples and scripts reference PowerShell without mentioning Bash or CLI alternatives; links to quickstarts and templates are labeled as 'create-lab-windows-vm-*', with no explicit Linux VM examples; artifact examples and VM customization focus on Windows-centric scenarios; and Active Directory domain-join is highlighted without mention of Linux identity solutions.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples and quickstarts, such as 'create-lab-linux-vm-bicep.md', 'create-lab-linux-vm-template.md', and 'create-lab-linux-vm-terraform.md'.
- Provide Bash/Azure CLI script examples alongside PowerShell for automation tasks, such as adding users or deleting VMs.
- Mention Linux tools and applications (e.g., Git, VS Code, Apache) as artifact examples, not just Windows tools.
- Describe how to join Linux VMs to identity solutions (e.g., Azure AD, LDAP) if applicable.
- Ensure ARM template and image builder documentation explicitly covers both Windows and Linux scenarios.
- Balance references to Windows and Linux in all lists and examples, and avoid defaulting to Windows-first naming or ordering.
