Summary:
The documentation generally maintains cross-platform parity, providing explicit Linux, macOS, and Windows instructions for running the sample app. However, there are subtle signs of Windows bias: the instruction to extract the sample to a folder with a path length of 260 or fewer characters references a Windows-specific filesystem limitation, and this warning is not contextualized as Windows-only. Additionally, the Windows command examples use 'py' instead of 'python', which is a Windows-specific launcher, and this is presented in a dedicated Windows tab, but the path length warning appears before the OS-specific tabs, potentially confusing non-Windows users.
Recommendations:
- Clearly indicate that the 260-character path length limitation applies only to Windows, and note that Linux/macOS users are not affected.
- Where Windows-specific filesystem or tool limitations are mentioned, explicitly label them as such to avoid confusion.
- Continue providing OS-specific command tabs for parity, and ensure that any general instructions are truly cross-platform or are clearly scoped to the relevant OS.
- Consider adding troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, virtual environments) to further balance the documentation.
