Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias by referencing 'Desktop app' scenarios and providing instructions and links that implicitly target Windows environments. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples, nor are Linux-specific tools or patterns mentioned. The guidance assumes use of Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) and desktop application flows, which are typically associated with Windows, without clarifying Linux compatibility or providing Linux-centric instructions.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux examples for device code flow authentication, including command-line usage and sample code for common Linux languages (e.g., Python, Bash).
- Clarify that MSAL libraries are available for Linux and provide installation instructions for Linux environments.
- Include screenshots or instructions for registering applications and configuring authentication using Linux tools (e.g., Azure CLI, cross-platform editors).
- Reference cross-platform or Linux-specific documentation where relevant, and avoid assuming a desktop/Windows environment in examples and terminology.
- Mention and demonstrate how to make REST API calls using Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, wget) in addition to generic HTTP clients.
