Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows is mentioned first and most frequently as the development environment, with explicit instructions to use Windows command prompts and Windows-based machines. Examples for certificate creation and manipulation reference Windows-specific tools or tabs, and there is a lack of Linux-specific instructions or parity in command-line examples. The Java section explicitly states 'this article uses Windows', and the certificate creation tutorial links default to Windows tabs. There are no Linux shell examples for .NET or Java workflows, and the use of Git Bash is described as a Windows tool, despite its cross-platform nature.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux instructions and examples alongside Windows ones, including shell commands for .NET and Java workflows.
- Avoid language such as 'Windows-based machine' or 'Windows command prompt' unless truly required; instead, use 'command line' or specify both Windows and Linux equivalents.
- Ensure all referenced tutorials and links (e.g., certificate creation) include both Windows and Linux tabs, and default to a neutral or cross-platform view.
- Clarify that tools like Git Bash are available and commonly used on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
- Add notes or pivots for Linux-specific prerequisites (e.g., package managers, environment setup) where appropriate.
- Where screenshots or UI instructions are given, note any differences for Linux users (e.g., file paths, shell environments).
