Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas. The example for installing kubectl uses the Windows-specific 'winget' tool, with no Linux/macOS alternative provided. In the section on extracting ZIP files, the Bash example incorrectly uses the Windows-native 'Expand-Archive' command, which is not available on Linux/macOS. Throughout, examples and variable paths are shown using Windows-style paths (e.g., 'C:\path\to\archive.zip') and Windows tools are referenced first or exclusively. There is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS instructions for key setup steps, which may confuse or hinder non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS alternatives for installing kubectl, such as 'curl' or 'apt/yum/brew' commands.
  • Correct the Bash example for extracting ZIP files to use 'unzip' or 'tar' for Linux/macOS, and clarify Windows vs. Linux/macOS instructions.
  • Use platform-neutral or platform-specific path examples (e.g., '/home/user/archive.zip' for Linux/macOS).
  • Ensure that all steps referencing Windows tools (like 'winget' or 'Expand-Archive') are accompanied by Linux/macOS equivalents.
  • Consider adding a table or tabs for Windows, Linux, and macOS where commands differ.
