Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows is mentioned first in several key sections, such as development machine requirements and Docker Desktop prerequisites. There are references to Windows-specific tools and scenarios (e.g., IoT Edge for Linux on Windows/EFLOW), and PowerShell-style output is shown in code blocks. While Linux is supported and mentioned, Linux-specific instructions, troubleshooting, or examples are less prominent, and some examples (such as Docker output) use Windows-style prompts. There are also cases where Linux-specific nuances (like permissions or package installation) are not addressed, and Linux command-line examples are not always provided alongside Windows ones.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and macOS are mentioned before or alongside Windows in all prerequisites and setup sections.
  • Provide explicit Linux (and macOS, if supported) command-line examples and troubleshooting steps, especially for Docker and SSH usage.
  • Avoid using Windows-style prompts (e.g., 'PS C:\>') in code blocks unless also showing the equivalent Linux prompt.
  • Include Linux-specific notes for permissions (e.g., sudo usage, Docker group membership) and package installation where relevant.
  • Balance references to Windows-only tools (like EFLOW) with equivalent Linux-native workflows.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform language and avoid assuming the user is on Windows.
  • Add a section or callouts for common Linux/macOS issues or environment differences.
