Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias, particularly in the 'NOTARY_VERSION_ERROR' section, which provides explicit instructions for Windows users (e.g., using notary.exe, specifying the default Windows path) before mentioning Linux/macOS alternatives. There is a lack of parity in providing Linux-specific paths or commands, and several solution steps refer to adding executables to 'system variables' or 'system environment variables' without clarifying Linux equivalents (e.g., PATH modifications). No Linux-specific troubleshooting commands or examples are provided, and references to tools (Docker, Helm, Notary) are generic, but where details are given, Windows is prioritized.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux and macOS instructions alongside Windows steps, including default installation paths and commands for adding executables to PATH.
  • When mentioning system environment variables, clarify how to modify PATH on Linux/macOS (e.g., editing ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile).
  • In sections like 'NOTARY_VERSION_ERROR', list Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, and specify download locations and installation steps for those platforms.
  • Include troubleshooting commands and examples for Linux (e.g., systemctl for restarting Docker daemon, checking permissions, etc.).
  • Ensure parity in examples and troubleshooting steps for all major platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows.
