Summary:
The documentation page generally aims for cross-platform neutrality, mentioning both Linux and Windows for tools like FIO and providing links to both Windows and Linux VM sizing. However, there is subtle Windows bias: the VM sizing section lists the Windows VM sizes link before the Linux equivalent, and there are no explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., FIO usage on Linux), nor are there any Linux-specific screenshots or walkthroughs. The only API example uses curl, which is cross-platform but more common on Linux, yet there are no PowerShell or Windows CLI examples either. The 'Performance benchmarks for Linux' is relegated to a 'Next steps' link rather than being integrated into the main content.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux and Windows command-line examples for running FIO or SSB, showing both platforms equally.
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux references (e.g., sometimes list Linux first).
- Include Linux-specific screenshots or terminal output where appropriate.
- Integrate Linux benchmarking guidance directly into the main content, not just as a 'Next steps' link.
- If API examples are shown with curl, consider also showing PowerShell/Windows CLI equivalents for parity.
