Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows is consistently mentioned first or exclusively in prerequisites and instructions, with explicit references to 'Windows-based machine' and 'Windows command prompt.' Linux equivalents are not provided or are only mentioned in passing. Tooling and command-line instructions (especially for .NET and Java) assume Windows environments, and there is reliance on Windows-specific patterns (e.g., registry, command prompt). The certificate creation steps and sample code setup lack Linux-specific guidance, and the use of Git Bash is suggested even for Java, which is cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux instructions and examples alongside Windows ones for all SDKs (C#, Java, Node.js), including terminal commands and environment setup.
  • Replace references to 'Windows command prompt' with 'terminal or command prompt' and clarify platform-specific steps where necessary.
  • Include Linux-specific tooling and usage patterns, such as using bash/zsh, Linux file paths, and environment variable management.
  • Ensure that prerequisites and sample code setup steps are platform-neutral or offer both Windows and Linux variants.
  • Avoid suggesting Windows-only tools (e.g., registry for configuration) and offer cross-platform alternatives.
  • Add screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux environments where appropriate.
  • Clarify that Git Bash is primarily for Windows users and suggest native bash/zsh for Linux/macOS users.
