Bias Analysis

Summary

The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the authentication section, where only a PowerShell snippet is provided for base64-encoding a PFX certificate file. There are no equivalent Linux or cross-platform command examples (e.g., using OpenSSL or base64 utilities). The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tooling and omits Linux alternatives, which may hinder users on non-Windows platforms.

Recommendations

Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples for base64-encoding a PFX file (e.g., using 'base64' and 'openssl').
When referencing certificate conversion or encoding, mention both Windows and Linux tools and workflows.
Wherever possible, use cross-platform language (e.g., 'your favorite utility' could be expanded to list both Windows and Linux tools).
Review other sections for implicit Windows assumptions and add Linux/macOS guidance as needed.
