Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows is presented as the default development environment, with Windows-specific instructions and links (e.g., Docker Desktop for Windows, nested virtualization on Windows, PowerShell/command prompt references) appearing before Linux/macOS equivalents. Some examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\dev\iotedgesolution), and environment variable instructions reference Windows locations first. While Linux and macOS are acknowledged and supported, Linux-specific instructions are often secondary, and there are few explicit Linux command-line examples or troubleshooting steps. The overall flow assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, not after or as notes.
  • Use platform-agnostic file paths and environment variable references in code samples.
  • Explicitly show Linux shell commands (e.g., bash) for all steps, including directory creation and Docker usage.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and tips for Linux/macOS environments, not just Windows.
  • Mention Linux container engines (e.g., Podman) as alternatives to Docker Desktop.
  • Ensure all environment variable instructions include both Windows and Linux/macOS formats.
  • Add a section or callouts for common Linux/macOS issues (permissions, package installation, etc.).
