Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas: it explicitly states that the tutorial uses a Windows computer, references Windows-specific features (such as Docker Desktop for Windows and Windows Subsystem for Linux), and provides Windows-style paths and commands before (or instead of) Linux equivalents. While the content claims to note differences for Linux/macOS, actual Linux-specific instructions, examples, or troubleshooting steps are often missing or less prominent. The use of PowerShell/Windows command prompts and the focus on Windows tools (e.g., Docker Desktop for Windows) further reinforce this bias.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/macOS instructions and examples wherever Windows-specific steps are given (e.g., directory creation, Docker installation, command-line usage).
- List Linux and macOS installation steps and links before or alongside Windows, not after.
- Use platform-agnostic paths (e.g., ~/dev/iotedgesolution or /home/user/dev/iotedgesolution) and commands in code snippets, or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS variants.
- Include troubleshooting steps and tips specific to Linux/macOS environments, not just Windows.
- When referencing tools like Docker Desktop, also mention and link to Linux-native alternatives (e.g., Docker Engine, Podman) and clarify their usage.
- Avoid assuming the development machine is Windows; instead, explicitly support all major platforms in instructions and examples.
- Ensure that environment variable instructions and path settings are clear for both Windows (%APPDATA%) and Linux/macOS (~/.local/), with equal prominence.
