Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-based tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) are mentioned first and in detail, with Linux alternatives referenced only briefly or as secondary options. Many code and setup examples use Windows command prompts and tools, and instructions for Linux users are often relegated to external links or short notes. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for most programming languages, and Linux-specific instructions are less prominent or missing in some sections.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux and macOS setup instructions with equal prominence and detail as Windows instructions, including explicit package installation commands and environment setup steps.
- Include Linux shell (bash) examples alongside Windows command prompt and PowerShell examples for all SDKs and code samples.
- Avoid language such as 'This tutorial is oriented toward a Windows-based workstation'—instead, state that the tutorial supports both Windows and Linux environments and provide clear pivots or tabs for each.
- For C development, offer step-by-step instructions for building with gcc/clang and CMake on Linux, including troubleshooting tips for common Linux build issues.
- Ensure that all code samples (e.g., setting environment variables, running SDK samples) include both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) syntax.
- Reference Linux tools (e.g., openssl, base64, xxd) with the same level of detail as Windows tools, and avoid suggesting Windows tools as the default.
- Where external links are provided for Linux instructions, consider integrating those instructions directly into the main documentation for parity.
