Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias. Windows-specific tools, settings, and instructions are often mentioned before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. Some sections provide only Windows or PowerShell examples, or list Windows tooling before Linux/CLI alternatives. Linux-specific instructions are present but sometimes secondary or less detailed. There are also places where Linux examples or parity could be improved, especially regarding deployment, configuration, and debugging.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that all CLI and deployment instructions are presented with both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux (Bash/CLI) examples, or use cross-platform Azure CLI examples by default.
- When listing tooling or setup methods (e.g., Visual Studio, VS Code, CLI), avoid always listing Windows-first; alternate the order or group by platform.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, provide equivalent Bash or shell commands for Linux users.
- In sections discussing configuration (e.g., environment variables, app settings), explicitly show both Windows and Linux syntax or reference platform-agnostic approaches.
- For debugging and local development, include Linux-specific guidance and troubleshooting steps, not just Visual Studio/Windows workflows.
- In performance and deployment optimization sections (e.g., ReadyToRun, runtime identifiers), ensure Linux instructions are as detailed as Windows, including explicit Linux examples for project files and CLI commands.
- Review all code snippets and ensure any that are platform-specific are clearly labeled, and that Linux alternatives are provided where relevant.
- Consider adding a parity checklist to ensure future documentation updates maintain equal coverage for Linux and Windows scenarios.
