Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias in its presentation of development tools. In the 'Tools to connect and manage devices' section, Windows-centric tools such as Azure PowerShell are listed alongside cross-platform options, and PowerShell is mentioned before Linux-specific alternatives. While Azure CLI and VS Code are cross-platform, there are no explicit Linux-specific examples or mentions of Linux-native tools (e.g., bash scripts, Linux package managers, or Linux desktop environments). The documentation also references Windows as a general-purpose OS before Linux in several places, and does not provide parity in examples or instructions for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux examples and instructions, such as using bash or Linux terminal commands for device management.
- Mention Linux as a general-purpose OS before or alongside Windows in relevant sections to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
- Include references to Linux-native tools (e.g., GNOME Terminal, KDE, or Linux package managers) where appropriate.
- Provide links to Linux-specific tutorials or documentation for Azure IoT development.
- Clarify that Azure CLI and VS Code are cross-platform, and provide installation instructions for Linux.
- Consider adding a table column or notes indicating OS compatibility for each tool listed.
