Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. In the 'Tools to connect and manage devices' section, Windows-specific tools like Azure PowerShell are listed alongside cross-platform tools, but there is no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows. PowerShell is highlighted as a primary interface, and there are no explicit Linux shell/bash examples or references to Linux-native tools. Additionally, the ordering of tools often places Windows-centric options (PowerShell) before more universally cross-platform options, and there are no Linux-specific instructions or parity notes.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit examples or references for Linux users, such as bash shell commands or Linux package installation steps for the Azure CLI.
- Balance the tool listing by including Linux-native tools or workflows (e.g., bash scripts, systemd integration, or references to Linux package managers).
- When listing tools, avoid putting Windows-centric tools (like PowerShell) before cross-platform options unless there is a clear reason; consider grouping by platform or indicating cross-platform compatibility.
- Include a note or section clarifying which tools are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, and provide equivalent Linux instructions where possible.
- Add links to Linux-specific getting started guides or tutorials for Azure IoT device development.
