Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, especially in the certificate import section, where Windows PowerShell and Windows Server UI instructions are presented first and in greater detail, including screenshots, before Linux instructions. The Linux section is less detailed and refers users to external documentation for specifics. Additionally, the use of Windows-specific tools and UI elements (e.g., Certificate Import Wizard) is emphasized, and Windows command-line options are highlighted alongside Linux, but Windows is often presented first.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or alternate which comes first to avoid always prioritizing Windows.
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step Linux instructions, including screenshots where possible, for tasks such as certificate import.
  • Include examples for a wider range of Linux distributions (not just Ubuntu/Debian and RHEL/Fedora/CentOS), or at least link directly to official documentation for each.
  • Where Windows-specific tools or UI are mentioned (e.g., Certificate Import Wizard), mention Linux GUI alternatives if available (such as GNOME Certificates or KDE's certificate manager).
  • Ensure that all command-line examples (such as AzCopy) are equally detailed for both Linux and Windows, and clarify any differences in syntax or behavior.
  • Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or primary platform (e.g., 'On a Windows system, you can...'), and instead use neutral phrasing like 'On Windows...' and 'On Linux...'.
