Summary
The documentation generally treats Windows and Linux as equivalent in most places, but there is a subtle Windows bias. In scenario 1, 'Windows' is consistently mentioned before 'Linux' ("for Linux and Windows", "Windows or Linux devices"), and Windows-specific technologies (e.g., Schannel, Win32 sockets) are called out alongside cross-platform ones, but Linux-specific equivalents (e.g., GnuTLS, epoll) are not. There are no explicit Linux command-line or tool examples, and no Linux-specific integration details are provided. The documentation also lists Windows as a recommended platform for the C SDK, but does not provide Linux-specific guidance or examples.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of 'Windows' and 'Linux' mentions, or use 'Windows and Linux' consistently to avoid perceived prioritization.
  • Include Linux-specific details where Windows-specific technologies are mentioned (e.g., mention GnuTLS or other common Linux TLS stacks alongside Schannel).
  • Provide Linux-specific examples, such as command-line usage, build instructions, or integration tips, to ensure parity with Windows.
  • Highlight any Linux-specific considerations or optimizations, especially in areas where Windows-specific tools (like Schannel or Win32 sockets) are discussed.
  • Ensure that tables and recommendations do not list Windows before Linux unless there is a technical reason to do so.
