Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows-specific paths, tools, and conventions are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. Many environment variable descriptions and examples use Windows paths (e.g., D:\home), reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., msbuild, Web Deploy/MSDeploy), and discuss Windows behaviors in more detail. Linux-specific information is often less detailed, appears after Windows content, or is missing entirely. Some features are described as 'Windows only' without clear Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations:
  • For every environment variable or feature that behaves differently on Windows and Linux, provide parallel examples and explanations for both platforms.
  • When mentioning file paths, always include both Windows and Linux formats (e.g., D:\home and /home).
  • Avoid using Windows-specific tools (like msbuild, Web Deploy/MSDeploy) as the default or only example; include Linux-native equivalents or alternatives (such as Oryx, Kudu for Linux, or CLI commands).
  • In tables and explanations, do not default to Windows terminology or behaviors; explicitly state platform differences and ensure Linux is not an afterthought.
  • Where features are Windows-only, clearly state whether there is Linux parity or a roadmap for it, and provide Linux workarounds if available.
  • Add Linux/POSIX shell command examples where PowerShell or CMD is used.
  • Review and expand Linux-specific documentation sections (such as Oryx build automation) to match the detail and clarity given to Windows/Kudu.
