Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the ordering and emphasis of installation instructions and tooling. Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell, Chocolatey, Winget) are highlighted, and Windows instructions often appear before or more prominently than Linux/macOS equivalents. PowerShell is used heavily in Windows manual install examples, and Visual Studio (a Windows-only IDE) is given a dedicated section before cross-platform alternatives. However, Linux and macOS installation steps are present and reasonably detailed.
Recommendations
- Ensure that cross-platform and Linux/macOS instructions are presented with equal prominence and ordering as Windows instructions.
- Avoid presenting Windows-specific tools (e.g., Visual Studio, PowerShell, Chocolatey, Winget) before cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives unless there is a clear user base justification.
- Provide CLI examples using Bash (or sh) for Linux/macOS wherever PowerShell is used for Windows, and vice versa.
- Consider adding a summary table at the top that clearly indicates cross-platform support and links to OS-specific sections, rather than leading with Windows-centric tools.
- Where possible, recommend cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) before Windows-only editors (e.g., Visual Studio), or present them in parallel.
- Balance the depth and detail of installation steps across all platforms to avoid the perception of Windows as the 'default' environment.
