Summary
The documentation generally provides parity between Linux and Windows deployment options, especially in CLI and VS Code workflows. However, there are subtle biases: (1) In the Visual Studio Code deployment section, the Windows workflow is described in more detail and with more steps, including troubleshooting for missing web.config, which is a Windows-specific concern. (2) The use of Visual Studio Code and FileZilla as recommended tools may be more familiar to Windows users, with no mention of Linux-native alternatives. (3) Some troubleshooting and configuration notes (such as web.config generation) are only present for Windows, with no equivalent Linux-specific guidance. (4) In some cases, Windows deployment steps are listed before Linux, or have more elaborate instructions, which can reinforce a Windows-centric perspective.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux and Windows deployment instructions are equally detailed, including troubleshooting tips specific to Linux (e.g., permissions, common deployment issues).
  • When referencing tools like FileZilla or Visual Studio Code, also mention popular Linux-native alternatives (e.g., gFTP, GNOME Terminal, or other editors like Vim/Emacs) and clarify cross-platform compatibility.
  • Where Windows-specific configuration (such as web.config) is discussed, provide parallel Linux-specific notes (such as startup script configuration, permissions, or environment variable handling).
  • In tabbed or pivoted instructions, present Linux and Windows options in a consistent order or randomize the order to avoid reinforcing a default preference.
  • Review all screenshots and UI references to ensure they are not exclusively from Windows environments; include Linux UI examples where possible.
