Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows. Examples and instructions frequently reference Windows-centric tools such as Visual Studio, PowerShell’s Invoke-RestMethod, and ARMClient (which requires Visual Studio to build). There are no Linux-specific examples or explicit cross-platform alternatives provided for key steps, such as building ARMClient, running command-line operations, or interacting with APIs. Linux users are left to infer or adapt instructions, and Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash, wget, native package managers) are not mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS alternatives for all command-line steps, such as using dotnet CLI to build ARMClient or providing pre-built binaries.
- Include API interaction examples using curl or httpie with sample commands for Linux/macOS users, not just PowerShell.
- Mention cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) alongside Visual Studio.
- Clarify that ARMClient can be built and run on Linux/macOS using .NET Core, and provide instructions.
- Ensure that all tool recommendations (e.g., API clients) include Linux-compatible options and installation instructions.
- Add a section or callouts for Linux/macOS users where workflows or commands differ.
