Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Windows environments and tools (Git Bash, environment variables, explicit Windows instructions) are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. While Bash/cURL are used for commands (which are cross-platform), setup instructions and tool recommendations are Windows-centric, and PowerShell is referenced as an alternative for key derivation. Linux instructions are present but often secondary.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Explicitly mention native Linux terminals (e.g., GNOME Terminal, Konsole) as alternatives to Bash/WSL.
  • Provide examples for deriving device keys using native Linux tools (e.g., Bash/openssl) and avoid referencing PowerShell unless parity is shown.
  • Clarify that Git Bash is only needed on Windows, and that Linux/macOS users can use their default terminals.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for common Linux issues (e.g., base64/openssl command differences) where relevant.
  • Where Azure CLI is referenced, note that it works identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide install links for all platforms.
