Summary
The documentation generally maintains parity between Windows and Linux, providing examples and instructions for both platforms. However, there are several instances of Windows bias: Windows examples and terminology are often presented first (e.g., extension status commands, update/removal commands), PowerShell instructions are included (which are Windows-centric), and some CLI commands reference only the Windows extension name. Additionally, troubleshooting and log paths are shown for both OSes, but some command examples (e.g., extension status, update, and removal) only show the Windows extension name, omitting the Linux equivalent.
Recommendations
- For every command example (especially az CLI), show both Windows and Linux extension names, or clarify that the same command applies to both by substituting the extension name.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections, rather than listing Windows first throughout.
- Where PowerShell is used, clarify its applicability to Linux (if any) or provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux users.
- In troubleshooting and status sections, ensure Linux commands and paths are given equal prominence and detail.
- Explicitly state that all commands and procedures apply to both OSes, or highlight any differences.
