Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the .NET/ASP.NET sections. Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) are listed before or alongside cross-platform or Linux alternatives, and some examples or quickstarts default to Windows or PowerShell. In other stacks (Java, Node.js, PHP), Linux and CLI options are more prominent, but the 'Next step' callout at the end defaults to an ASP.NET (Windows-centric) quickstart. Some Python quickstarts also default to Windows tabs, and Linux parity is inconsistent across stacks.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux and cross-platform CLI examples are always presented alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples, especially in .NET/ASP.NET sections.
- For each stack, provide explicit Linux and macOS instructions where relevant, not just Windows or Visual Studio/PowerShell.
- In the .NET/ASP.NET tables, add or highlight Linux/CLI options (e.g., .NET CLI on Linux, VS Code on Linux) and avoid listing Windows tools first.
- Review tab defaults in quickstart links to avoid defaulting to Windows/PowerShell unless the stack is Windows-only.
- Balance the 'Next step' callout to include a Linux or cross-platform example, or provide a choice of next steps for different platforms.
- Audit all quickstart and tutorial links to ensure Linux parity and that Linux users are not required to adapt Windows-specific instructions.
