Description
The end-to-end tests currently only work under Linux, but we should also test all other collectors for other OSes. Instead of comparing the output to one single golden template, each collector probably needs their own file.
Rewriting the end-to-end tests to Go will probably make things easier.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing end-to-end tests, collectors, and single golden template to identify the Linux-only assumptions. Done means other collectors are tested on their relevant operating systems, each collector has its own expected-output file, and the end-to-end tests are rewritten in Go.
