Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Windows prerequisites and tools first, referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., Microsoft C++ Build Tools, WSL), and providing activation commands for Windows before Linux. Some instructions and notes are tailored to Windows or WSL users, and there is a lack of parity in detailed Linux/Mac-specific guidance, especially regarding package management and environment setup.
Recommendations:
- List Linux and Mac prerequisites before or alongside Windows, not after.
- Provide Linux and Mac equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., recommend GCC or Clang for C++ build tools on Linux, and clarify how to install dependencies using native package managers).
- Avoid referencing WSL as the primary Linux environment for Windows users; instead, treat native Linux and WSL as separate, equally valid platforms.
- Ensure all command examples (such as activating virtual environments) are shown for all platforms, and not just Windows first.
- Expand on Linux/Mac installation steps, including common package manager commands (apt, yum, brew) and troubleshooting tips.
- Where possible, use cross-platform commands and avoid Windows-centric paths or syntax.
- Add explicit sections or callouts for Linux/Mac users wherever there are differences in workflow or tooling.
