Summary

The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias: it exclusively configures Batch pools with Windows Server images, uses Windows command-line tools (e.g., 'cmd /c type'), and provides no Linux equivalents or examples. While .NET and Visual Studio are cross-platform, the quickstart does not show how to use Linux pools, Linux command lines, or provide Linux-specific guidance, despite mentioning .NET 6+ compatibility with Linux.

Recommendations

Provide parallel examples for creating Linux-based Batch pools, including code snippets for specifying a Linux Marketplace image and the appropriate node agent SKU (e.g., 'batch.node.ubuntu 20.04').
Show how to use Linux command-line equivalents in tasks (e.g., use 'bash -c cat {filename}' instead of 'cmd /c type {filename}').
Explicitly mention in the prerequisites and throughout the guide that the quickstart works on both Windows and Linux, and clarify any platform-specific steps.
Include sample output and troubleshooting notes for Linux-based pools.
Where Windows tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., Visual Studio), also mention Linux alternatives (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider, or using the dotnet CLI).
