Summary
The documentation page generally covers all major platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) and provides installation instructions for each. However, there is evidence of Windows bias: Windows is listed first in prerequisites, and the legacy Azure Storage Emulator is mentioned as a supported emulator (Windows only) before Azurite, which is cross-platform. There are no Linux-specific troubleshooting examples or screenshots, and some instructions (such as .NET runtime management) are more detailed for Windows than for Linux. The SLES section is less supported/tested, and overall, Linux instructions are less detailed and lack parity in examples and troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Rotate the order of platform sections or list Linux/macOS first in some places to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows.
- Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples, including screenshots of Storage Explorer running on Linux.
- Expand instructions for .NET runtime management and dependency installation for Linux, matching the detail given for Windows.
- Add parity in emulator documentation: emphasize Azurite as the recommended emulator for all platforms, and provide Linux/macOS installation and usage examples.
- Improve support and documentation for SLES and other Linux distributions, or clarify limitations more transparently.
- Where possible, use platform-neutral language and examples, and avoid referencing Windows-only tools (like the legacy Azure Storage Emulator) before cross-platform alternatives.
