Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows is frequently mentioned as a primary platform, with 'IoT Edge for Linux on Windows' repeatedly recommended for Windows devices. Windows OS versions are listed alongside Linux in Tier 1, and Windows-specific tooling (EFLOW) is referenced multiple times. There is a strong emphasis on how to run Linux containers on Windows, but little to no mention of Linux-specific patterns, tools, or troubleshooting channels. No Linux-first messaging or examples are provided, and Linux support is described in generic terms, while Windows support is called out with dedicated links and instructions.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting channels and links, similar to the EFLOW issues page for Windows.
  • Provide more Linux-first messaging, such as recommending direct Linux deployments before Windows/EFLOW solutions.
  • Include examples or references to Linux-native tools, installation patterns, and best practices.
  • Balance the prominence of Windows and Linux in tables and recommendations, ensuring Linux is not always listed after or in reference to Windows.
  • Clarify support for Linux container engines and OSes with more detail, matching the specificity given to Windows/EFLOW.
