Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias: Windows-specific instructions and code samples (C#, Java using Windows-MY store) are presented before Linux equivalents, and in greater detail. Windows tools and concepts (certificate store, user profile, Windows-specific environment variables) are emphasized, while Linux instructions are less detailed and often deferred or generic (e.g., 'see the documentation for the respective language or web platform' for non-.NET languages). There is a lack of parity in language coverage and depth for Linux, especially for non-.NET stacks.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux examples alongside Windows examples in all sections, not just in the container section.
- Include code samples for loading certificates in popular languages (Node.js, Python, Java, PHP) on Linux, not just C#.
- Avoid referring users to 'see the documentation for the respective language' for Linux scenarios—offer at least one concrete example per major language.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel or in clearly separated, equally detailed sections/tabs.
- Clarify when instructions are Windows-specific and offer Linux alternatives immediately, rather than as afterthoughts.
- Balance the use of Windows tools (certificate store, user profile) with Linux-native patterns (file-based certificates, environment variables).
