Summary
The documentation exhibits moderate Windows bias. While the core authentication concepts are platform-agnostic, operational examples and tooling references favor Windows environments. The Azure portal instructions and screenshots are inherently Windows-centric, and PowerShell is given a dedicated section for disabling local authentication, whereas Linux/macOS equivalents (such as Bash or CLI scripting) are not shown. The Azure CLI example is present, but PowerShell is highlighted separately and with more detail. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples for environment variable setup or SDK usage, and no mention of platform-specific considerations for those users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/macOS shell examples for environment variable setup (e.g., export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=...) alongside the Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Provide screenshots or instructions for Azure portal usage on non-Windows platforms, or clarify that the portal is web-based and platform-neutral.
- Balance PowerShell and CLI coverage by including Bash or zsh script examples for common tasks (e.g., resource creation, authentication setup).
- Where SDK usage is shown (e.g., C#), add code snippets or links for other languages/platforms, and clarify any OS-specific prerequisites.
- Note any platform-specific caveats or requirements for Linux/macOS users (e.g., installation steps, authentication flows).
