Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the .NET section, where Windows tools (Visual Studio, Azure PowerShell) are listed before cross-platform or Linux-native options. Some quickstart links default to Windows or PowerShell tabs, and Linux-specific instructions are sometimes secondary or missing. The 'Next step' call-to-action also defaults to an ASP.NET (typically Windows-first) example. Other stacks (Java, Node.js, PHP) are more Linux-oriented, but the overall structure and tool recommendations often prioritize Windows or do not provide Linux parity.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that for every Windows-specific tool or example (e.g., Visual Studio, Azure PowerShell), an equivalent Linux-friendly option (e.g., VS Code, Azure CLI, Bash) is provided and listed with equal prominence.
- In quickstart tables, alternate the order of tool listings or group them by platform to avoid always listing Windows tools first.
- Where possible, default documentation tabs and links to cross-platform or Linux options, or provide clear toggles for both environments.
- Expand the use of Linux/CLI examples in .NET sections, including explicit mention of Bash and Linux development environments.
- For the 'Next step' section, offer multiple language/framework options (not just ASP.NET) and ensure at least one Linux-native path is highlighted.
- Audit all linked quickstarts to ensure Linux instructions are present and up-to-date, not just Windows/PowerShell.
