Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias: Windows-specific instructions, code samples, and certificate store usage are presented before Linux equivalents. Most code examples (C#, Java) focus on Windows certificate stores, with Linux guidance often deferred or less detailed. There are references to Windows tools and patterns (e.g., certificate store, environment variables, .NET Framework specifics) without equivalent Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Non-Windows languages (Node.js, PHP, Python) are not given direct examples, and Linux-specific instructions are less prominent or detailed.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux examples alongside Windows examples, not after them or as an afterthought.
- Include code samples for loading certificates in popular Linux languages (Node.js, Python, PHP, Java) directly in the documentation.
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel sections or tabs, ensuring parity in detail and clarity.
- Avoid referencing Windows certificate store patterns exclusively; explain Linux certificate handling (e.g., file-based, OpenSSL, environment variables) with equal depth.
- When mentioning environment variables or file paths, always provide both Windows and Linux equivalents together.
- Ensure that all steps (such as making certificates accessible, loading them in code, and updating/renewing) have explicit Linux instructions, not just references to 'see respective language documentation.'
