Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias. While it provides separate command examples for Linux, macOS, and Windows when running the sample app, there are subtle indications of Windows-first thinking. Notably, the instruction to 'Extract the sample file to a folder where the total length of the path is 260 or fewer characters' references the Windows MAX_PATH limitation, which is not relevant to Linux/macOS. Additionally, the Windows example uses 'py' instead of 'python', which is a Windows-specific launcher. However, the documentation does provide parity in command examples for all platforms and does not omit Linux/macOS instructions.
Recommendations
- Clarify that the 260-character path length limitation applies only to Windows, and that Linux/macOS users are not affected.
- Consider listing Linux/macOS examples before Windows, or in parallel, to avoid a Windows-first impression.
- Where possible, use cross-platform commands (e.g., 'python' instead of 'py') in generic instructions, and explain platform-specific differences in a note.
- Review the documentation for any other implicit Windows assumptions (such as file path separators, environment variable syntax, etc.) and clarify or provide Linux/macOS equivalents as needed.
