Summary
The documentation displays a moderate Windows bias. In several sections, Windows examples, commands, and tools (such as PowerShell and Windows-specific paths) are presented before their Linux equivalents. PowerShell is used for both Windows and Linux installation examples, even though PowerShell is not the default or most common automation tool on Linux. In status and health checks, only the Windows extension name is shown in CLI examples, and update/removal commands reference only the Windows extension. Troubleshooting and log locations are provided for both OSes, but some CLI and management examples omit Linux-specific details.
Recommendations
- Ensure all CLI examples and management commands are provided for both Windows and Linux extensions, not just Windows.
- Present Linux examples and instructions alongside or before Windows examples in each section to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
- Use Linux-native automation tools (e.g., Bash, shell scripts) for Linux examples rather than PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention and show Linux extension names in update and removal commands.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting steps, including Linux-specific error messages and resolutions.
- Review all references to tools and patterns to ensure Linux equivalents are included and not overshadowed by Windows-centric approaches.
