Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the Python quickstart where Windows commands and paths are presented before Linux equivalents. Powershell is given its own pivot, but there is no explicit Bash or Linux shell pivot. In the Python section, Windows virtual environment activation is shown first, and Linux is secondary. There are no Linux-specific troubleshooting tips or parity for Powershell examples. However, most core commands (Docker, dotnet, gradle) are cross-platform and use Bash syntax, which helps mitigate bias.
Recommendations
- In all language pivots, present Linux and Windows commands side-by-side or in equal prominence, rather than listing Windows first.
- Add a Bash or Linux shell pivot to match the Powershell pivot, or clarify that Bash commands work on both Linux and macOS.
- Wherever there are Windows-specific instructions (e.g., activating Python venv), ensure the Linux/macOS equivalent is given equal visibility and not as a secondary tab.
- If providing a Powershell pivot, consider also providing a Bash pivot for Linux users, or at least mention Bash alternatives.
- Include Linux/macOS troubleshooting tips where relevant (e.g., file permissions for gradlew).
- Review screenshots and file paths to ensure they are not Windows-centric (e.g., use forward slashes or note both styles).
