Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by presenting PowerShell-based instructions and tooling first and in greater detail, especially in the initial setup and configuration sections. Windows-specific tools (e.g., AzFilesSmbMIClient, PowerShell modules) are described before their Linux equivalents, and the prerequisite steps are almost exclusively Windows/PowerShell-focused. Linux instructions are present but often follow Windows steps, are less detailed, and sometimes lack parity in example depth (e.g., troubleshooting, client library integration).
Recommendations
- Provide Linux CLI (e.g., Bash/Azure CLI) equivalents alongside PowerShell commands in all setup and configuration sections.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel (side-by-side tabs or sections) throughout the document, not just in later steps.
- Expand Linux troubleshooting guidance to match the detail provided for Windows (e.g., log file locations, diagnostic commands).
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites and environment setup steps (e.g., required packages, Azure CLI installation) at the same prominence as Windows/PowerShell.
- Ensure all client library integration examples for Linux are as detailed as those for Windows, including code samples and usage scenarios.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or primary platform (e.g., 'Open PowerShell as administrator' before mentioning Linux alternatives).
