Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas: Windows paths, tools, and examples are consistently presented before their Linux equivalents, and some sections (such as UI-based installation) focus almost exclusively on Windows. Windows-specific tools, directories, and patterns (e.g., C:\Program Files, command prompt, .exe installers) are referenced throughout, sometimes with Linux instructions only appended or less detailed. In some cases, Linux instructions are present but less prominent, and the overall structure and examples assume a Windows-centric environment.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or in clearly separated, equally detailed sections, rather than always listing Windows first.
  • Include Linux-specific screenshots and UI walkthroughs where applicable, not just Windows UI images.
  • Use neutral language and file paths in general guidance (e.g., 'installation directory' instead of 'C:\Program Files...').
  • Where Windows-specific tools or services (e.g., VSS) are mentioned, provide equivalent Linux information or clarify if not applicable.
  • Ensure Linux command examples are as detailed and prominent as Windows examples, including troubleshooting and advanced options.
  • Highlight any differences in agent behavior or requirements between Windows and Linux explicitly, rather than assuming Windows as the default.
  • Where possible, provide a summary table or matrix showing parity and differences between Windows and Linux installation and configuration steps.
