Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several ways. Windows terminology and environment variables (e.g., %USERPROFILE%) are mentioned before Linux equivalents. The log review example uses PowerShell's Select-String for both Linux and Windows, which is not a native Linux tool and may confuse Linux users. There is a lack of Linux-native command examples (e.g., grep) for log searching. Instructions for quoting arguments prioritize Windows shell behavior, and PowerShell syntax is used for environment variable setting on Windows, while Linux uses export. Overall, the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, with Linux support added secondarily.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-native command examples (e.g., use 'grep UPLOADFAILED ...' for log searching on Linux instead of PowerShell's Select-String).
  • Mention Linux/Mac environment variable paths and conventions before or alongside Windows ones, rather than after.
  • Clarify that Select-String is a PowerShell command and not standard on Linux; suggest installing PowerShell on Linux only if needed, otherwise use native tools.
  • When discussing quoting conventions, present Linux/Mac guidance first or equally, and clarify differences for various shells.
  • Ensure that all examples and instructions are available for both platforms, and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
