Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-based build agents ('windows-latest') are used by default or listed first in C# and PowerShell YAML examples, while Linux ('ubuntu-latest') is only used by default for JavaScript and Python. PowerShell is included as a first-class language, but there is no equivalent Bash or shell scripting example for Linux users. The deployment instructions and YAML snippets often default to Windows app types and only mention Linux as an alternative, sometimes as a comment or secondary option. There are no explicit Linux shell scripting or Linux-native tool examples outside of the Python/JavaScript YAML, and the documentation assumes Visual Studio Code as the editor, which is cross-platform but often associated with Windows workflows.
Recommendations
  • For each language, provide both Windows and Linux YAML build examples, or clearly indicate parity and differences.
  • In C# examples, show both 'windows-latest' and 'ubuntu-latest' agent pools, and explain when to use each.
  • For PowerShell, clarify if Linux PowerShell Core is supported and provide Bash equivalents for packaging/deployment steps.
  • In deployment sections, present Linux and Windows app deployment YAML side by side, not with Windows as the default.
  • Explicitly mention Linux-native tools and workflows where possible, and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
  • Add a table or matrix summarizing OS support and recommended agent pools for each language and scenario.
