Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. It prominently features Windows-centric technologies such as WCF Relay (which is tightly coupled with the full .NET Framework and Windows Communication Foundation), and all WCF Relay examples are inherently Windows-only. The quick start and sample sections list .NET (typically Windows-first) examples before Node and Java, and do not mention Linux-specific instructions, tools, or patterns. There is no explicit mention of Linux/Powershell alternatives, nor are Linux command-line or service management examples provided.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux quick start guides for Hybrid Connections, including setup and usage instructions for common Linux distributions.
- Clarify which features and samples are cross-platform and which are Windows-only (e.g., WCF Relay).
- Provide Linux-specific examples for running relay clients/services, including service management and firewall configuration.
- Include parity in sample ordering, listing cross-platform and Linux/Node/Java examples before or alongside .NET/Windows examples.
- Mention alternative tools or libraries for Linux environments where Windows-specific technologies (like WCF) are referenced.
