Summary
The documentation lists Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) alongside cross-platform options, and presents Windows tools (PowerShell) before Linux/macOS equivalents (CLI) in the 'Tools to connect and manage devices' section. However, Linux is mentioned as a supported OS for general device development, and most tools (Azure CLI, VS Code, REST APIs) are cross-platform. No examples or instructions are given that are Windows-only, and Linux users are not blocked from completing any tasks.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention platform compatibility for each tool in the table (e.g., Azure CLI: Windows, Linux, macOS; PowerShell: Windows, Linux, macOS).
  • Present cross-platform tools (Azure CLI) before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) in lists and tables.
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific examples or notes where relevant, especially for command-line tools.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, if relevant.
  • Consider including links to Linux/macOS setup guides for CLI and other tools.
