Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by mentioning Windows-based client machines before Linux, referencing Windows-specific tools (SQL Server Management Studio, SSMS) and patterns, and providing more detailed instructions and screenshots for Windows tools. While Linux connection steps are present, they are less detailed and lack parity in graphical tool examples (e.g., no Linux-specific GUI walkthroughs for Azure Data Studio). There is also an implicit assumption of Windows environments (Active Directory, NetBIOS domain names) and no mention of Linux-native alternatives or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide equal prominence to Linux and Windows instructions, including listing Linux connection steps before or alongside Windows steps.
- Include screenshots and step-by-step instructions for connecting from Azure Data Studio on Linux.
- Mention Linux-native alternatives to SSMS (such as Azure Data Studio) and provide parity in graphical walkthroughs.
- Add troubleshooting tips for Kerberos authentication on Linux, including common configuration issues.
- Clarify any differences in experience or requirements between Windows and Linux clients.
- Reference cross-platform tools and avoid Windows-centric terminology where possible.
