Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell, Chocolatey, Winget) are prominently featured, and Windows installation methods are often listed before or in more detail than Linux/macOS equivalents. PowerShell is used for manual installation examples, and Visual Studio (Windows-only) is given equal or greater prominence than cross-platform editors. While Linux and macOS instructions are present and reasonably detailed, Windows tools and patterns are more heavily emphasized.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure that Linux and macOS installation instructions are always presented before or alongside Windows instructions, not after.
  • Provide Bash or shell-based manual installation examples before PowerShell examples, and ensure parity in detail and troubleshooting.
  • Balance the prominence of Visual Studio (Windows-only) with Visual Studio Code (cross-platform) in authoring recommendations.
  • List cross-platform package managers (e.g., Homebrew for macOS/Linux) with equal visibility to Windows package managers (Chocolatey, Winget).
  • Where possible, use cross-platform commands and terminology (e.g., 'terminal' instead of 'command shell') and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
  • Explicitly mention any differences or limitations for Linux/macOS users in relevant sections, not just in notes or warnings.
