Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: build and run instructions for the sample application are provided only for Windows (Visual Studio, .exe execution), with Linux equivalents relegated to a brief link; Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, command prompt) are referenced exclusively; and step-by-step examples prioritize Windows workflows, omitting parallel Linux instructions. There are no explicit PowerShell examples, but the overall guidance and screenshots focus on Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux build and run instructions, including commands for gcc/clang, make, and running the binary (e.g., ./iothub_ll_telemetry_sample) on Linux/macOS.
  • Include examples using Linux tools and editors (e.g., VS Code on Linux, nano/vim) alongside Visual Studio.
  • Add screenshots and step-by-step guidance for configuring distributed tracing and device twins using the Azure CLI and/or on Linux.
  • Ensure all code snippets and shell commands have both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) versions.
  • Reference cross-platform SDK installation and troubleshooting steps, not just Visual Studio-specific issues.
