Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias by presenting Windows-specific instructions and tools (such as Kudu, CMD, and PowerShell) before their Linux equivalents, and by referencing Visual Studio and Windows deployment patterns as defaults. Linux instructions are present and generally comprehensive, but Windows tools and workflows are often mentioned first or exclusively, which may give the impression that Windows is the primary or preferred platform.
Recommendations:
- Ensure parity in example order: Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or alternate which platform is presented first to avoid the perception of a primary platform.
- Balance tool references: When referencing tools like Kudu (which is Windows-centric), also mention or link to the equivalent Linux troubleshooting or management tools (e.g., SSH, Oryx logs).
- Reduce Visual Studio/Windows defaults: When describing deployment workflows, clarify that Visual Studio is one option and highlight cross-platform alternatives (e.g., VS Code, CLI-based deployment) equally.
- Expand Linux-specific guidance: Where Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell or Kudu) are mentioned, ensure Linux alternatives are described with equal detail and visibility.
- Review terminology: Avoid phrases like 'already have all the supported .NET Core versions installed' for Windows without clarifying the Linux equivalent, to prevent assumptions about platform parity.

Flagged Code Snippets
To show all supported .NET Core versions, run the following command in [Cloud Shell](https://shell.azure.com):
::: zone-end
::: zone pivot="platform-windows"
The [hierarchical configuration data](/aspnet/core/fundamentals/configuration/#hierarchical-configuration-data) in `appsettings.json` is accessed by using the `:` delimiter that's standard to .NET Core. To override a specific hierarchical configuration setting in App Service, set the app setting name with the same delimited format in the key. You can run the following example in [Azure Cloud Shell](https://shell.azure.com):
