Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias. Several workarounds and examples reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell cmdlets, Windows VM Guest Agent), and some instructions are given using Windows paths or commands first. Linux equivalents are sometimes missing or only mentioned later. While Linux is referenced in some places (e.g., Ubuntu updates, Linux VM for IoT Edge), Windows-centric instructions and tooling are more prominent, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific commands and tools (e.g., show how to use rsync or cp instead of robocopy/Explorer for blob copying).
  • Include PowerShell and Bash examples side-by-side for device management and troubleshooting steps.
  • When referencing tools like sqlcmd, clarify installation steps for Linux/macOS and provide example commands for those platforms.
  • Avoid using Windows paths (e.g., C:\Users\...) as the sole example; add Linux mount command examples.
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps for VM extensions, agent management, and device connectivity are platform-agnostic or have clear cross-platform instructions.
