Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows instructions and examples are consistently presented before Linux equivalents, with Windows-specific paths, tools, and screenshots dominating the UI sections. Key installation and configuration steps reference Windows directories and command prompt usage, and even Linux instructions sometimes refer to Windows paths for repository locations. The use of Windows-centric terminology (e.g., C:\Program Files, command prompt, .exe files) is pervasive, and visual examples are almost exclusively Windows-based. Linux instructions are present and generally complete, but are often secondary in order and detail.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions so that Linux is sometimes presented first.
  • Provide Linux-specific screenshots for UI-based installation steps, not just Windows.
  • Use neutral terminology and directory examples (e.g., <InstallLocation>) rather than defaulting to Windows paths.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting guidance and prerequisites for both platforms.
  • Highlight Linux-specific considerations (e.g., SELinux, systemd, package dependencies) where relevant.
  • Include PowerShell and Bash examples side-by-side where applicable.
  • Clarify when instructions are platform-specific and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
