Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows, such as Visual Studio and PowerShell, and by presenting Windows-specific instructions before Linux equivalents. PowerShell and Windows command-line examples are given prominence, while Linux alternatives are sometimes less detailed or appear after Windows instructions. There is also a focus on Windows development environments, with Visual Studio as the primary editor, and some steps (like package installation) include PowerShell-specific tabs but lack equivalent coverage for Linux-native tools (e.g., apt, yum, or .NET CLI on Linux).
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or give equal prominence to both, avoiding 'Windows first' ordering.
  • Include Linux-native tooling and workflows (e.g., .NET CLI on Linux, common editors like Vim or nano, and package managers like apt or yum where relevant).
  • Provide Bash and PowerShell examples side by side for all command-line operations.
  • Reference cross-platform editors (such as VS Code) before or alongside Windows-only editors like Visual Studio.
  • Ensure that all steps (such as setting environment variables, installing packages, and assigning roles) have clear, tested Linux equivalents.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell) as the default for scripting or automation.
