Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: troubleshooting steps and examples often present Windows commands (e.g., PowerShell's 'tnc', use of '.\psping.exe') before or instead of Linux equivalents; Windows-specific tools (psping, PowerShell) are highlighted, with Linux alternatives mentioned only briefly or as an afterthought. Some diagnostic instructions and logging/tracing guidance are .NET/.NET Core-centric, with little to no mention of Linux-native or cross-platform approaches. Linux users may find the guidance less accessible or discoverable.
Recommendations:
- For every Windows/Powershell command or tool mentioned (e.g., 'tnc', '.\psping.exe'), provide the Linux/macOS equivalent (e.g., 'telnet', 'nc', 'ss', 'ping', 'hping3') side-by-side and with equal prominence.
- When referencing tools like 'psping', suggest cross-platform alternatives (e.g., 'iperf', 'hping3', 'nmap') and provide download links or installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
- Avoid presenting Windows commands or tools first by default; instead, group instructions by platform or present them in parallel.
- Expand diagnostic and logging sections to include examples for non-.NET environments and cross-platform SDKs (e.g., Java, Python), and mention Linux-native logging/tracing tools (e.g., journalctl, syslog, strace, tcpdump).
- Where .NET or Visual Studio is referenced, add notes or links for equivalent workflows in Linux development environments (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider, command-line SDK usage).
- Audit the documentation for other subtle Windows-first language or assumptions (e.g., references to 'Console.ReadKey()', Visual Studio, or Windows-specific troubleshooting patterns) and provide Linux/macOS context or alternatives.
