Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas. The example for installing kubectl uses Windows-only tooling (winget), with no Linux/macOS alternative. The file extraction example under the Bash tab incorrectly uses PowerShell's Expand-Archive, which is not available on Linux/macOS Bash shells. Throughout, Windows-centric tools and patterns are presented first or exclusively, and Linux/macOS users are left to infer their own equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS alternatives for installing kubectl (e.g., using curl or package managers like apt, brew, or snap).
  • Correct the Bash example for extracting ZIP files to use native Bash/Linux commands (e.g., unzip, tar) instead of PowerShell's Expand-Archive.
  • Ensure that examples under Bash tabs use commands available on Linux/macOS, not Windows-only tools.
  • Where Windows-specific instructions are given, add equivalent steps for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider listing Linux/macOS examples before or alongside Windows/PowerShell examples to avoid implicit prioritization.
