Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based images (e.g., Windows 11 Enterprise, Visual Studio on Windows) and not mentioning Linux or other operating systems as options for dev box definitions. All example images and recommendations are Windows-centric, and there are no examples or guidance for using Linux images or configuring dev boxes for Linux development.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention support for Linux images if available, or clarify if only Windows images are supported.
- Provide examples of creating dev box definitions using popular Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) from the Azure Marketplace or custom images.
- Include guidance or screenshots for selecting Linux images in the Azure portal, if supported.
- Balance recommendations by suggesting Linux-based images for relevant development scenarios, not just Windows/Visual Studio.
- If Linux is not supported, clearly state this limitation early in the documentation.
