Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by presenting Windows-specific tools and instructions (such as Internet Explorer settings and psexec usage) before Linux equivalents. It provides detailed steps for Windows (including tool usage) but omits comparable Linux command-line examples or tools. The Linux section is less detailed and lacks parity in guidance, particularly for configuring environment variables or editing the ProxyInfo.conf file.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux configuration steps with the same level of detail as Windows, including example commands for editing /etc/profile or /etc/environment (e.g., using nano or vi).
  • Include Linux-specific tools or methods for setting environment variables for system services, such as using 'export' or editing systemd service files.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, rather than listing Windows first, to avoid the perception of prioritizing one platform.
  • Offer example commands for creating and editing ProxyInfo.conf on Linux, similar to the Windows file path instructions.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (like psexec and Internet Explorer) without Linux equivalents or alternatives.
