Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias, most notably by recommending WinSCP (a Windows SFTP client) as a troubleshooting tool without mentioning Linux alternatives. In code samples for base64 encoding, a third-party web tool is recommended before mentioning Linux-native command-line options. The documentation provides a Linux example for ssh-keygen, but only in one context, and does not offer parity for other troubleshooting steps or tools. There are no PowerShell examples, but the overall pattern is to mention Windows tools first and omit Linux equivalents in several places.
Recommendations
  • When recommending troubleshooting tools like WinSCP, also mention Linux alternatives such as FileZilla, lftp, or the native sftp command.
  • For base64 encoding, provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., 'base64 -w 0 < private_key_file') alongside C# and Python samples.
  • Wherever a tool or command is referenced, ensure both Windows and Linux equivalents are provided, or at least mention cross-platform options.
  • Review all troubleshooting steps to ensure Linux users are not left without guidance or examples.
  • Consider adding a section or table summarizing common troubleshooting tools for both Windows and Linux environments.
