Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. In several sections, Windows examples, tools, and patterns are presented before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. For instance, SQL Server deployment and troubleshooting are covered in detail, with Windows-specific instructions and tools (such as Microsoft ODBC Driver, Visual C++ Redistributable, and NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM permissions). Powershell and Windows paths are used in examples, sometimes without corresponding Linux alternatives. Some troubleshooting steps and error messages are Windows-centric, and Linux-specific guidance is less detailed or omitted in certain areas.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux examples are provided alongside Windows examples in all relevant sections, especially for deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting.
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate which platform is shown first to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., clarify which ODBC drivers or libraries are needed for Linux, and provide installation steps).
  • Expand troubleshooting guidance to cover common Linux-specific issues, permissions, and error messages.
  • Review all code samples and ensure both Linux and Windows paths, commands, and environment variables are shown where applicable.
  • Where screenshots or diagrams are Windows-specific, provide Linux versions or clarify platform differences.
