Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by referencing 'File Explorer' as the method to connect to Edge shares, without providing equivalent instructions or examples for Linux users (e.g., using the mount command or Linux file managers). There are no explicit Linux command-line examples for accessing shares, and the only command-line example given (rsync) is for copying files, not for mounting or browsing shares. The documentation also mentions Storage Explorer, which is available cross-platform, but does not clarify usage on Linux. While the IoT Edge runtime is stated to be Linux-based, the operational instructions assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific instructions for connecting to Edge shares, such as using the 'mount' command for SMB/NFS or using Linux file managers (e.g., Nautilus, Dolphin).
- Include screenshots or terminal commands for Linux environments alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify that 'File Explorer' refers to Windows and suggest Linux alternatives.
- Explicitly mention that Storage Explorer is available on Linux and provide installation or usage notes if needed.
- Ensure that all operational steps (e.g., verifying data transfer, browsing shares) have both Windows and Linux workflows documented.
