Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All code examples use PowerShell, including for Linux scenarios, and Windows-specific paths and outputs are shown by default. Windows configuration steps and tools are described first and in more detail, while Linux-specific guidance is minimal or deferred to external articles. There are no examples using native Linux tools or shell environments, and the packaging and inspection steps assume Windows conventions.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent examples using native Linux shell commands (e.g., Bash) for compiling, renaming, and packaging configuration files.
- Show Linux file paths and outputs alongside or instead of Windows paths (e.g., use /home/user/dsc/MyConfig instead of C:\dsc\MyConfig).
- Include instructions for using Linux-native tools (e.g., mv, zip/unzip, du) for tasks like renaming files, creating archives, and checking file sizes.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows steps/examples are given equal prominence, or alternate which platform is described first.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are platform-specific, and provide clear, parallel guidance for both environments.
- Consider including a section or appendix specifically for Linux users, summarizing the end-to-end workflow using Linux-native tools and conventions.
