Summary
The documentation exhibits mild Windows bias by describing the interactive browser login as 'Windows only' and listing it first among authentication options. Additionally, the only explicit method given for obtaining an access token is via the Windows PowerShell cmdlet `Get-AzAccessToken`, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., Azure CLI). Linux is mentioned as a default for device code login, but examples and tooling references favor Windows.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific instructions and examples where appropriate, such as how to obtain an access token using Azure CLI (`az account get-access-token`) on Linux.
- Reorder authentication options to present cross-platform methods (device code, service principal, Azure CLI) before platform-specific ones.
- Clarify that most authentication methods (except interactive browser login) are available on both Windows and Linux, and explicitly state Linux compatibility.
- Add explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., bash) alongside any PowerShell examples.
- Where a method is Windows-only, suggest the equivalent Linux workflow or tool.
