Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-specific graphics APIs and tools, such as Direct3D 11 (D3D11), Windows Mixed Reality, and HoloLens 2. All code examples and setup instructions assume the use of Windows technologies, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, and the documentation does not acknowledge the absence of Linux support or provide any roadmap for parity.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state platform support at the beginning of the documentation, clarifying if Linux is unsupported or if there are plans for future support.
- If Linux support is not available, provide a section explaining this and suggest possible workarounds or alternatives for Linux developers.
- If partial Linux support exists (e.g., via OpenXR or Vulkan), add equivalent Linux setup and code examples.
- When introducing APIs or tools, mention cross-platform alternatives where possible (e.g., Vulkan for graphics binding) and provide guidance for non-Windows environments.
- Structure the documentation to avoid assuming Windows as the default platform; instead, organize by platform or provide parallel instructions for each supported OS.
