Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing Visual Studio Code (a Microsoft tool popular on Windows), providing code samples and tips that assume use of the Azure CLI (which is cross-platform but often associated with Windows), and offering a C#/.NET code sample for message decoding without mentioning Linux-native tools or alternatives. There are no explicit Linux or macOS-specific instructions or examples, and the only code-based decoding example is in C# (commonly used on Windows), with no mention of how to perform the same task using Linux command-line tools or scripts.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples for tasks such as decoding base64/UTF-8 messages (e.g., using bash, base64, and iconv commands).
- Mention and link to cross-platform or Linux-native editors (such as VS Code Insiders on Linux, Vim, or nano) when suggesting tools for monitoring IoT Hub messages.
- Include a code snippet or command-line example for decoding the message file using common Linux tools (e.g., cat, base64, iconv) in addition to the C# example.
- Clarify that the Azure CLI is cross-platform and works on Linux/macOS, and provide any necessary installation or troubleshooting tips for those platforms.
- Balance references to Visual Studio Code with alternatives or explicitly state its availability on Linux/macOS.
