Summary
The documentation demonstrates a significant Windows bias. Most automation and setup scripts are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with instructions to use PowerShell ISE and Windows-specific command patterns. Linux equivalents are either missing or only appear in a few sections, often after the Windows instructions. The use of Windows tools and terminology (e.g., PowerShell ISE, .ps1 scripts, Windows file paths) is prevalent, and Linux users are only occasionally accommodated, sometimes with minimal or incomplete guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide all automation and setup scripts in both PowerShell and Bash (or other common Linux shells), ensuring parity in functionality and clarity.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (such as PowerShell ISE) as the default or only option; suggest cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) or terminal usage.
  • When presenting code blocks, use tabbed or side-by-side examples for Windows and Linux, and ensure both are equally detailed and tested.
  • Ensure all steps (such as downloading, unblocking, and executing scripts) have clear Linux equivalents, not just conditional PowerShell code for Unix.
  • Review all instructions for terminology and paths, replacing Windows-centric language with cross-platform alternatives where possible.
  • Where Azure CLI or other tools are used, provide explicit Linux command-line examples, not just PowerShell wrappers.
  • Audit the documentation for any missing Linux-specific troubleshooting or caveats, and add them as needed.
