Summary
The documentation page exhibits several Windows biases. Windows-based tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell, Windows command prompt) are mentioned first and in greater detail, especially in the C and C# sections. Linux alternatives are referenced but often only as secondary notes or links, and Linux-specific instructions are less detailed. The page assumes a Windows workstation as the default environment and provides more explicit guidance for Windows users, with Linux instructions sometimes relegated to external documentation or less prominent sections.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions with equal prominence and detail, especially in setup and build steps.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) examples alongside Windows command prompt and PowerShell for all SDKs and programming languages.
  • Avoid assuming a Windows-based workstation as the default; use neutral language and structure (e.g., 'On Windows...' and 'On Linux...').
  • For Visual Studio-dependent instructions, provide equivalent steps for common Linux IDEs (e.g., VS Code, CLion) or command-line build processes.
  • Ensure all prerequisite sections explicitly mention Linux package installation and environment setup, not just link out to external docs.
  • Where Git Bash is referenced, clarify its use and provide alternatives for native Linux/macOS terminals.
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting tips and output samples where Windows-specific ones are given.
