Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools (e.g., ffmpeg.exe, PowerShell) are referenced or used in code examples, especially in the Java section. Windows paths and patterns (e.g., .exe extension, BASE_PATH usage) are presented without Linux equivalents or parity. PowerShell is mentioned as a method for uploading files, but Linux alternatives (such as SCP, rsync, or SFTP) are not discussed. In some cases, Linux-specific notes are relegated to side notes rather than being integrated into the main workflow, and Linux examples are not always provided alongside Windows ones.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific code examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially for file paths, executable names, and environment variables.
  • When referencing tools like ffmpeg, clarify differences in usage between Windows (.exe) and Linux (no extension), and provide examples for both.
  • Include Linux-native upload methods (e.g., SCP, rsync, SFTP) in addition to PowerShell and Azure CLI.
  • Avoid using Windows-centric paths (e.g., BASE_PATH, .exe) as defaults; instead, show both Windows and Linux conventions.
  • Ensure that any notes about Linux permissions (e.g., chmod) are integrated into the main workflow, not just as side notes.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools and patterns, or clearly indicate platform-specific steps.
