Summary
The documentation page is generally balanced in listing supported platforms, with Linux distributions featured prominently and in detail. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: Windows support is described primarily via 'IoT Edge for Linux on Windows' (EFLOW), and Windows is often mentioned first when discussing how to run IoT Edge on Windows devices. The documentation refers to Windows-specific tooling (EFLOW) and links to Windows prerequisites before Linux equivalents. There are no Linux-specific examples or tooling highlighted, but Linux platforms are well represented in support tables.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows options with equal prominence, avoiding language that suggests Windows is the default or preferred platform.
- When mentioning EFLOW or Windows-specific solutions, also highlight native Linux installation and management options in parallel.
- Add explicit references to Linux management tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, package managers) where appropriate.
- Ensure that links to prerequisites and installation guides for Linux are as visible and accessible as those for Windows.
- If examples or troubleshooting steps are added in future, ensure parity between Linux and Windows instructions.
