Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias. In several places, Windows-specific tools or settings are mentioned before their Linux equivalents (e.g., ReadyToRun runtime identifiers, deployment requirements, and preview .NET version configuration). Some instructions and examples are Windows-centric or list Windows first, and there are references to Visual Studio (a Windows-first tool) without always providing parity for Linux/VS Code. In a few cases, Linux-specific instructions are less detailed or missing, and Azure PowerShell (primarily used on Windows) is listed as a deployment option without equivalent emphasis on Bash or Linux-native scripting.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that all CLI and deployment instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux, with equal detail and prominence.
- When listing tools or options (e.g., Visual Studio, PowerShell), always include Linux-friendly alternatives (e.g., VS Code, Bash scripts, Azure CLI) and avoid listing Windows tools first by default.
- For configuration tables or code snippets (e.g., ReadyToRun, deployment requirements), present Linux and Windows options side-by-side or in parallel tabs, not with Windows first.
- When referencing PowerShell, also provide Bash/Azure CLI equivalents and highlight cross-platform approaches.
- Review all sections for parity in debugging, deployment, and project setup instructions, ensuring Linux users have clear, direct guidance.
- Explicitly mention if a feature or tool is Windows-only, and suggest Linux alternatives where possible.
