Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as 'PowerShell commands' and the 'Windows Azure Storage Blob driver') before or more prominently than their cross-platform or Linux equivalents. There is a lack of explicit Linux or bash/Unix shell examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux-native tools or workflows, even though Azure CLI and SDKs are cross-platform. The use of 'PowerShell commands' and 'Windows Azure Storage Blob driver' without parallel Linux/bash guidance or examples may alienate Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/bash command-line examples alongside or before PowerShell examples, especially for common tasks such as interacting with Data Lake Storage.
- Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, AzCopy) with both Windows and Linux usage patterns, and clarify their availability on all major operating systems.
- Mention the Hadoop ABFS driver as the modern, cross-platform alternative to WASB, and clarify that it is not Windows-specific.
- Where documentation links to PowerShell-specific guides, also link to equivalent Azure CLI or SDK documentation for Linux/macOS users.
- Avoid using 'Windows Azure Storage Blob driver' as the primary terminology; instead, use 'WASB driver' and clarify its history and cross-platform support.
- Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS administrators, summarizing relevant tools, commands, and considerations.
