Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias in several areas. In the 'Tools to connect and manage devices' section, Windows-centric tools such as Azure PowerShell are listed alongside cross-platform options, but there is no mention of Linux-specific tools or guidance. The order of tool presentation often puts Windows-first tools (PowerShell) before Linux-native alternatives. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples or references to Linux package managers or shell environments. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or tool recommendations for Linux users, and the language and tool choices may implicitly favor Windows development environments.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention Linux compatibility for all tools, especially Azure CLI and VS Code extensions.
- Include Linux-specific instructions or examples (e.g., bash commands, package installation via apt/yum, using Azure CLI in Linux shells).
- Add references to Linux-native tools or workflows for IoT device management, if available.
- Reorder tool listings to alternate or balance Windows and Linux options, or group cross-platform tools first.
- Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, if relevant, and provide examples for both Windows PowerShell and bash/zsh.
- Ensure that all tutorials and next steps include Linux as a first-class development environment.
