Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows-specific tools and configuration steps (such as Visual Studio, PowerShell, and Windows-specific Azure CLI commands) are mentioned before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. Some deployment and configuration examples are provided only for Windows or with Windows as the primary example, with Linux alternatives appearing later or not at all. There are also references to Windows-specific concepts (e.g., .NET Framework, win-x86/win-x64) without always providing equivalent Linux guidance or parity in examples.
Recommendations:
- Ensure all CLI and deployment examples are provided for both Windows and Linux, with Linux examples given equal prominence and order.
- Where Visual Studio or PowerShell are mentioned, also mention and provide examples for cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Bash, Azure CLI).
- In tables and lists of options, avoid listing Windows tools or workflows first by default; alternate or group by platform.
- When referencing runtime identifiers or build targets (e.g., win-x64), always include the Linux equivalents (e.g., linux-x64) in parallel.
- For debugging and local development, provide explicit Linux instructions and troubleshooting steps, not just Windows/Visual Studio.
- Add explicit notes or callouts where a feature or tool is Windows-only, and suggest Linux-compatible alternatives where possible.
- Review all code snippets and ensure any shell commands (e.g., Azure CLI) are shown with both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) syntax where differences exist.
