Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell usage. All command-line instructions are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux equivalents. Windows-specific tools and file paths (such as editing the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) are referenced without Linux alternatives. The workflow assumes the user is operating from a Windows environment, and there are no examples or guidance for users on Linux or macOS.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all PowerShell examples, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Include instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux (typically /etc/hosts) alongside the Windows path.
  • Mention that the self-hosted integration runtime can be installed on Linux (if supported), or clarify platform limitations.
  • Add notes or examples for users working from Linux or macOS, especially for file operations, command-line usage, and environment setup.
  • Where screenshots or UI steps are shown, clarify if they are Windows-specific and provide Linux/macOS alternatives if available.
  • Consider reordering sections or providing parallel instructions so that Linux/macOS users do not feel like an afterthought.
