Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: all code examples are in C# and use Windows-centric command lines (e.g., 'cmd /c'), with no Linux shell equivalents provided. The only detailed example of application execution uses Windows paths and environment variable conventions first, with Linux differences mentioned only as an aside. There are no Linux-specific code snippets or shell command examples, and the documentation consistently references Windows node configuration and tools before Linux. This may hinder Linux users from easily applying the guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux/bash examples for all command-line and code snippets, especially for task command lines and environment variable usage.
- Include at least one example of deploying and executing an application package on a Linux compute node, using bash syntax and Linux file paths.
- When describing environment variables and application package paths, present Linux and Windows formats side-by-side, rather than Windows first.
- Mention Linux node configuration and requirements with equal prominence as Windows, including any differences in application ID rules or file system layout.
- If possible, include code samples in additional languages (e.g., Python) that are popular in Linux environments, or at least reference their documentation.
