Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias. In the X.509 self-signed authentication section, the openssl command is presented first for Windows/PowerShell, with the Linux example following. The Windows example does not use any Windows-specific tools, but the ordering suggests a Windows-first approach. There are no explicit Linux-only tools or patterns mentioned, and no Linux-specific guidance is provided for certificate generation or device registration. The documentation does not provide parity in terms of example ordering or platform-specific troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side, or alternate which platform is shown first.
- Include explicit Linux instructions for certificate generation and file management, not just openssl commands.
- Add troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, DNS resolution).
- Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., scp, bash scripts) equally with Windows tools.
- Ensure screenshots and UI guidance are not Windows-centric, or provide Linux equivalents where relevant.
