Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools (Explorer, PowerShell, Notepad, Notepad++, chcp, Windows Terminal, PowerShell ISE) are frequently mentioned, often before or in more detail than their Linux equivalents. PowerShell and Windows-specific commands are shown for encoding conversion and file operations, while Linux examples are sometimes present but less detailed or introduced after Windows. Some sections (e.g., file encoding viewing/conversion) provide more step-by-step guidance for Windows than for Linux. The page also refers to Windows-specific behaviors (e.g., 8.3 filenames, region settings) in greater depth.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and macOS examples are provided alongside Windows examples for all key operations (e.g., file encoding conversion, viewing file encodings, troubleshooting).
  • Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel, or alternate which OS is presented first, to avoid a 'Windows-first' impression.
  • Expand Linux tool coverage: for example, show how to use Linux text editors (vim, nano, gedit) to view and change file encodings, and provide more details on Linux locale and font configuration.
  • Include more screenshots or command outputs from Linux terminals, not just Windows tools.
  • When referencing Windows-specific tools or settings (e.g., PowerShell ISE, chcp, region settings), provide equivalent Linux/macOS guidance (e.g., locale, iconv, file, terminal font settings).
  • Explicitly mention macOS behaviors where relevant, especially since it is referenced briefly but not covered in detail.
  • Balance troubleshooting advice and error message explanations for both Windows and Linux clients.
