Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias in several areas. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell and .NET) are included, and Windows instructions are sometimes shown before Linux/macOS equivalents. Some prerequisite links (e.g., PowerShell install) default to Windows, and troubleshooting tips reference Windows-specific issues. However, most language pivots include Linux/macOS instructions, and custom handler sections provide explicit Linux/macOS build guidance. The bias is not severe, but Linux/macOS users may encounter friction or need to adapt instructions.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all prerequisite links (e.g., PowerShell install) include direct Linux/macOS options or clarify cross-platform support.
  • When listing platform-specific instructions (such as compiling Go/Rust handlers), present Linux/macOS examples before or alongside Windows examples.
  • Expand troubleshooting guidance to include common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, shell differences) rather than focusing on Windows-specific problems.
  • For PowerShell, clarify installation and usage steps for Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
  • Review all references to default shells and terminals to ensure parity for Linux/macOS users (e.g., mention Bash, Zsh, etc.).
