Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (such as PowerShell, Chocolatey, and Winget) are described in more detail and appear before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. PowerShell is used for manual installation on Windows, and the Visual Studio (Windows-only) workflow is given equal prominence to the cross-platform Visual Studio Code workflow. In some sections, Windows installation methods are listed last, but the Windows-specific tools and scripting (PowerShell) are more detailed and varied than for Linux/macOS. Linux and macOS instructions are present and technically complete, but Windows-specific tooling and patterns are more deeply integrated.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux and macOS installation instructions are as detailed and varied as Windows (e.g., mention package managers like apt, yum, or snap if available, not just manual download).
- Where multiple installation methods are listed, present Linux/macOS options before or alongside Windows options, rather than after.
- Provide Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS with the same level of detail as PowerShell for Windows.
- Highlight cross-platform tools (like Visual Studio Code and Azure CLI) before platform-specific tools (like Visual Studio or PowerShell).
- Where possible, avoid assuming PowerShell as the default scripting environment for manual installation; provide equivalent Bash scripts for Linux/macOS.
- Consider adding a summary table that clearly indicates which methods are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
