Summary:
The documentation generally maintains parity between Windows and Linux, especially in the section on setting environment variables, where both platforms are given dedicated tabs and step-by-step instructions. However, there are subtle signs of Windows bias: Windows instructions are presented first, and Windows-specific tools (like the System Properties dialog) are described in more detail and with more UI guidance than their Linux equivalents. The Linux instructions assume more technical familiarity (e.g., editing .bashrc with vim/nano), and there is less explanation of the rationale or context for Linux users. In other sections, Windows-style paths (%userprofile%) are mentioned alongside Linux (~), but Windows terminology and patterns (such as referencing the System Properties dialog) are more prominent. There are no PowerShell-specific code examples, but the overall tone and ordering suggest a slight preference for Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions in tabbed sections, or present Linux first in some cases to balance exposure.
- Provide equal detail and context for Linux instructions, including screenshots or step-by-step UI guidance where appropriate (e.g., using graphical editors or file managers).
- When mentioning file paths, always provide both Windows and Linux equivalents together, and clarify which is which.
- Include PowerShell and Bash equivalents for any command-line instructions, or clarify when a command is platform-specific.
- Add a brief rationale or context for both Windows and Linux users about why certain steps are necessary, not just for Windows.
- Where possible, use cross-platform language and avoid assuming the user is more familiar with Windows tools or UI.
