Summary
The documentation demonstrates several types of Windows bias. In multiple sections, Windows examples, commands, and extension names are presented before their Linux equivalents (windows_first). PowerShell is used for both Windows and Linux installation instructions, which is not typical for Linux users (powershell_heavy). In the 'Extension status and health', 'Update and removal', and other operational commands, only Windows extension names are shown in CLI examples, with no Linux equivalent (missing_linux_example). Troubleshooting and log paths are provided for both OSes, but operational commands and update/removal instructions only reference Windows extension names (windows_tools).
Recommendations
- Present Linux examples and extension names alongside Windows in all CLI and operational command sections.
- Provide Linux-native command examples (e.g., Bash scripts or shell commands) instead of PowerShell for Linux scenarios.
- Ensure update and removal instructions include both Windows and Linux extension names and examples.
- Review the ordering of sections and examples to avoid consistently listing Windows first, and alternate or group by OS where appropriate.
- Clarify OS-specific steps and tools, especially where user experience or commands differ significantly.
