Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas. The example for installing kubectl uses Windows-specific tooling (winget) without providing a Linux/macOS alternative. In the section on extracting ZIP files, the Bash tab incorrectly uses the Windows PowerShell command Expand-Archive, which does not exist on Linux/macOS. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions for these basic setup steps, which may cause confusion or friction for non-Windows users. Throughout the rest of the document, Bash and PowerShell examples are provided in parallel, but the initial steps and tooling favor Windows.
Recommendations
  • For kubectl installation, provide platform-specific instructions: use apt, yum, brew, or direct download for Linux/macOS users.
  • In the ZIP extraction section, replace Expand-Archive in the Bash tab with a Linux/macOS-compatible command such as unzip or tar.
  • Review all example commands to ensure they are valid and tested on Linux/macOS environments.
  • Consider listing Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Add explicit notes or tabs for macOS if there are platform-specific considerations.
