Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Instructions and examples for updating language versions in Azure Functions are consistently presented with Windows options first, both in Azure portal and Azure CLI sections. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as .NET SDK, Visual Studio Code settings, and Windows-specific CLI flags) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are less emphasized or deferred to later sections. Some examples, especially for Python, explicitly state that Windows is unsupported and redirect users to Linux, but Linux instructions are not always presented with equal clarity or prominence.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel, rather than defaulting to Windows-first ordering.
- Provide equally detailed Linux-specific examples and troubleshooting steps, including references to Linux development tools and patterns (e.g., VS Code settings for Linux, Linux package managers).
- Ensure that all language and platform pivots (especially for Python and Node.js) include complete, step-by-step Linux instructions, not just notes redirecting users.
- Highlight any differences in workflow or limitations for Linux users early in the documentation, rather than as footnotes or afterthoughts.
- Where possible, use neutral, cross-platform CLI examples and avoid assuming Windows as the default operating system.
