Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Visual Studio is listed as the only development environment, and all project creation steps assume its use. Instructions for setting environment variables are presented with Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell examples before Linux/macOS equivalents. The build and run steps reference restarting Visual Studio and using Windows-specific shortcuts. There are no Linux-specific development environment recommendations or guidance for running .NET Framework apps on Linux (which is not natively supported).
Recommendations
  • Add guidance for cross-platform development environments, such as JetBrains Rider or VS Code, and clarify .NET Framework's Windows-only support.
  • Present environment variable instructions in a neutral order (e.g., Linux/macOS first, or side-by-side).
  • Explicitly state that .NET Framework apps are Windows-only, and suggest .NET (Core/5+) for cross-platform scenarios.
  • Include instructions for building and running .NET apps on Linux/macOS where applicable, or provide links to equivalent .NET (Core/5+) tutorials.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, also reference Bash or other common Linux shells for parity.
