Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Power BI Desktop, a Windows-only application, and does not mention or provide examples for Linux or cross-platform alternatives. All steps and screenshots assume the use of Windows tools and UI patterns. There are no instructions for using Power BI on Linux (e.g., via Power BI web service or alternatives), nor are Linux-specific tools or workflows discussed. The order of tool presentation and example selection implicitly prioritizes Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for accessing and visualizing Spark data using Power BI Service (web-based), which is cross-platform.
  • Mention and provide examples for connecting to Spark from Linux or macOS environments, possibly using open-source BI tools (e.g., Apache Superset, Grafana) as alternatives.
  • Clarify that Power BI Desktop is Windows-only and suggest Linux/macOS users use the Power BI web service or other supported tools.
  • Add a section on using Azure CLI or other cross-platform tools to manage HDInsight clusters, not just PowerShell.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI instructions are not exclusively Windows-centric; provide web-based or cross-platform alternatives where possible.
