Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias through several patterns: examples and instructions frequently reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell), and commands are often shown in Windows syntax or with Windows paths. PowerShell is repeatedly mentioned as the primary interface for device management, with no equivalent Bash or Linux shell examples. In some cases, Linux alternatives are missing or only referenced in passing, and Windows tools are listed before or instead of cross-platform or Linux-native options.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell (bash) equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for device management and IoT Edge operations.
  • Include Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp) alongside Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer for file operations.
  • Show examples using Linux mount syntax (e.g., `mount -o nolock ...`) in addition to Windows mapping commands.
  • Clarify when instructions are OS-specific and offer parallel steps for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., AzCopy) with usage examples for both Windows and Linux terminals.
  • Ensure documentation sections do not default to Windows-first presentation; alternate or parallelize Windows and Linux instructions.
