Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by exclusively mentioning the PowerShell 'New-GUID' cmdlet as a way to generate GUIDs, without referencing Linux or cross-platform alternatives. No Linux or macOS command-line examples (such as 'uuidgen') are provided, and the Windows tool is mentioned first and solely. This may lead Linux users to feel unsupported or unclear about equivalent workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS command-line examples for generating GUIDs, such as 'uuidgen' or 'cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid'.
  • Present cross-platform options together, e.g., 'You can generate a GUID using PowerShell (New-GUID), Linux/macOS (uuidgen), or any online generator.'
  • Avoid mentioning Windows tools exclusively or first; strive for parity by listing alternatives side-by-side.
  • Where possible, link to documentation for Linux/macOS tools as well as PowerShell.
