Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: all system requirements, setup instructions, and tooling references are exclusively for Windows environments. There are no Linux (or macOS) equivalents or examples provided, and Windows-specific tools and workflows (e.g., Visual Studio, Windows SDK, Microsoft Store, HEVC codec installation, UWP, DX11) are mentioned throughout without alternatives. Even cross-platform tools like Git are only referenced generically, with no Linux-specific installation or usage guidance.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state if Linux (or macOS) is unsupported, or provide a roadmap for cross-platform support if planned.
- If Linux support is possible, add equivalent instructions for Linux (and macOS) environments, including supported distributions, required dependencies, and installation steps.
- Provide Linux alternatives for Windows-specific tools (e.g., suggest VS Code or JetBrains Rider for development, and clarify if Visual Studio is required only for Windows).
- For codec and driver requirements, include instructions for checking/installing on Linux (e.g., using ffmpeg, vdpauinfo, or relevant package managers).
- If certain features/tools (like UWP, DX11, or Microsoft Store codecs) are Windows-only, explicitly note this and suggest any possible Linux workarounds or alternatives.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and links to relevant resources.
- Ensure parity in example commands, screenshots, and terminology for all supported platforms.
