Summary
The documentation page demonstrates several instances of Windows bias. Windows tools and paths (e.g., PowerShell, C:\Program Files, %ProgramData%, C:\Temp) are mentioned first or exclusively in installation and configuration instructions. PowerShell is referenced as a primary automation method, with less emphasis on Linux-native alternatives. Some examples and instructions (such as manual MySQL installation and agent unregistration) provide Windows commands and paths before Linux equivalents, and in some cases, Linux instructions are less detailed or appear as an afterthought. There is limited mention of Linux-specific tools or scripting approaches, and the overall pattern prioritizes Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux examples and instructions alongside Windows, with equal detail and prominence.
  • Include Linux-native automation and scripting options (e.g., Bash, shell scripts, Ansible) in addition to PowerShell.
  • List Linux commands and paths before or alongside Windows equivalents, not only after.
  • Reference Linux filesystem paths and conventions where relevant, and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
  • Highlight cross-platform compatibility and clarify any differences in process or tooling between Windows and Linux.
  • Where third-party tools (like MySQL) are involved, include Linux installation steps and locations, not just Windows (e.g., /tmp/ASRSetup).
