Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, particularly in troubleshooting steps that assume a Windows environment. Several instructions reference Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Windows Explorer, registry commands), and there are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users. File system limitations and codec installation steps are described only for Windows, and the use of Windows terminology and screenshots is pervasive. No Linux or cross-platform alternatives are provided for key troubleshooting scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent troubleshooting steps for Linux and macOS where applicable, especially for tasks like codec installation, file permissions, and file system limitations.
  • Include command-line examples for Linux (bash) alongside PowerShell/cmd examples.
  • When referencing file system limitations, clarify which are Windows-specific and note any differences for Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows Explorer; suggest cross-platform alternatives (e.g., file managers, terminal commands).
  • For package installation and driver updates, provide links or instructions for Linux/macOS where possible.
  • Explicitly state when a step or limitation is Windows-only, and offer guidance or workarounds for other platforms.
  • Add screenshots or terminal output from Linux/macOS environments where relevant.
