Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. While it acknowledges Linux and macOS as supported development platforms and provides some Linux-specific guidance, Windows is repeatedly presented as the default or primary environment. Windows-specific tools, paths, and patterns (e.g., PowerShell, Windows directory paths, Docker Desktop for Windows, nested virtualization on Hyper-V) are mentioned first or exclusively in several places. Some examples and instructions use Windows-centric syntax (e.g., 'c:\dev\iotedgesolution'), and troubleshooting tips reference Windows tools before Linux equivalents. Although Linux alternatives are mentioned, they are often secondary, and Linux users may need to adapt instructions or infer the correct steps for their platform.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS examples and instructions alongside Windows examples, especially for directory paths, environment variables, and command-line usage.
- Avoid presenting Windows as the default; use neutral language or parallel instructions for all platforms.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and tool recommendations (e.g., systemd, bash, Linux Docker installation) where relevant.
- Ensure all PowerShell or Windows command prompt instructions are matched with bash/zsh equivalents.
- Explicitly call out differences for Linux/macOS users in setup and configuration steps, rather than assuming adaptation.
- Add screenshots or terminal output from Linux/macOS environments where applicable.
