Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first approach in several areas: Windows instructions and tabs are consistently presented before Linux equivalents, and some features (such as Python on Windows) are explicitly unsupported, with users redirected to Linux. The use of Azure CLI is cross-platform, but the documentation often refers to Windows-specific tools, settings, and patterns first. There are also sections where Linux examples are only provided as a secondary option or are missing entirely for certain languages. PowerShell is treated as a first-class language, with specific pivots and examples, reinforcing a Windows-centric perspective.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or default to Linux-first where appropriate, especially for languages more commonly used on Linux (e.g., Python, Node.js).
- Ensure that all examples and instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux, even if certain features are unsupported, with clear explanations and alternatives.
- Avoid language in the documentation that assumes Windows as the default or primary OS; instead, use neutral phrasing or clarify when instructions are OS-specific.
- Where PowerShell is used as an example, provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux users.
- Highlight any feature parity gaps and provide workarounds or timelines for Linux support where possible.
